Eagle 7B is a 7.52B parameter model that:
Built on the RWKV-v5 architecture (a linear transformer with 10-100x+ lower inference cost)
Ranks as the world’s greenest 7B model (per token)
Trained on 1.1 Trillion Tokens across 100+ languages
Outperforms all 7B class models in multi-lingual benchmarks
Approaches Falcon (1.5T), LLaMA2 (2T), Mistral (>2T?) level of performance in English evals
Trade blows with MPT-7B (1T) in English evals
All while being an “Attention-Free Transformer”
Is a foundation model, with a very small instruct tune - further fine-tuning is required for various use cases!
