Pretrained on 4x more tokens than the previous releases (20b vs 5b). Instruct tuned versions are coming soon. Very interesting models are coming soon too (hint: super long context).
Just hit #14 and #15 with out FIRST models on Open SLM Leaderboard. The models were trained on 5B tokens, while competing with similarly sized models trained on more than 6-20x the data.
A new base model Speck1.5-140M being trained right now on a higher quality corpus and will be released soon. SpeckChat3 is coming very soon with 1 million samples, specifically designed to post train small base models.
Also, just to clarify stuff, we will NOT release anything that is NOT MIT licensed EVER. Openness is needed in small language research.
Thanks to everyone supporting the project, and stay tuned for new releases!
SPECK UPDATES: 1 New instruct model tuned on top of Speck1-140M: specklabs/Speck1-140M-Instruct 2 Instruction tuning datasets 2 GGUFs
Much more coming soon: Speck1.1-140M-Instruct that is post trained on SpeckChat2 will be coming very soon New base model Speck1.5-140M is coming with a much higher quality corpus
Thanks to everyone who is already supporting the project, and stay tuned for new releases!
new models coming very soon (both instruct and much better models), with much much higher training scale as i am getting marenostrum5 access soon! we will be looking at 100b-2t token budgets :)
