# Falcon3-7B-Instruct: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

Falcon3 family of Open Foundation Models is a set of pretrained and instruct LLMs ranging from 1B to 10B.

This is based on the implementation of Falcon3-7B-Instruct found [here](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/Falcon3-7B-Instruct).
This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/main/src/qai_hub_models/models/falcon_v3_7b_instruct) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary).

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

## Deploying Falcon3-7B-Instruct on-device

Please follow the [LLM on-device deployment](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-apps/tree/main/tutorials/llm_on_genie) tutorial.

## Getting Started
There are two ways to deploy this model on your device:

### Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models

Download pre-exported model assets from **[Falcon3-7B-Instruct on Qualcomm® AI Hub](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/falcon_v3_7b_instruct)**.


### Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/main/src/qai_hub_models/models/falcon_v3_7b_instruct) Python library to compile and export the model with your own:
- Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints)
- Custom input shapes
- Target device and runtime configurations

This option is ideal if you need to customize the model beyond the default configuration provided here.

See our repository for [Falcon3-7B-Instruct on GitHub](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/main/src/qai_hub_models/models/falcon_v3_7b_instruct) for usage instructions.

## Model Details

**Model Type:** Model_use_case.text_generation

**Model Stats:**
- Input sequence length for Prompt Processor: 128
- Context length: 4096
- Quantization Type: w4a16 + w8a16 (few layers)
- Supported languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese.
- TTFT: Time To First Token is the time it takes to generate the first response token. This is expressed as a range because it varies based on the length of the prompt. The lower bound is for a short prompt (up to 128 tokens, i.e., one iteration of the prompt processor) and the upper bound is for a prompt using the full context length (4096 tokens).
- Response Rate: Rate of response generation after the first response token.
