LongLLaMA Description
This repository contains a research preview of LongLLaMA. It is a large language-model capable of handling contexts up to 256k tokens. LongLLaMA was built on the foundation of OpenLLaMA, and fine-tuned with the Focused Transformer method. LongLLaMA code was built on the foundation of Code Llama. We release a smaller base variant of the LongLLaMA (not instruction-tuned) on a permissive licence (Apache 2.0), and inference code that supports longer contexts for hugging face. Our model weights are a drop-in replacement for LLaMA (for short contexts up to 2048 tokens) in existing implementations. We also provide evaluation results, and comparisons with the original OpenLLaMA model.
