Falcon-180B

TII’s Flagship 180B Open-Source Language Model

What is Falcon-180B?

Falcon-180B is the largest and most powerful open-weight language model publicly released by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII). With 180 billion parameters, it stands among the top-performing large language models (LLMs) globally—rivaling or exceeding closed models in many benchmarks.

Optimized for complex reasoning, multi-turn dialogue, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic tasks, Falcon-180B is designed for enterprises, AI researchers, and developers who need maximum capability with full transparency and control.

Key Features of Falcon-180B

180B Parameter Transformer Architecture

Unparalleled capability for generation, reasoning, and complex instruction-following.

Massive Multilingual & Web-Curated Dataset

Trained on 3.5 trillion tokens, including RefinedWeb, code, and conversational data.

Fully Open-Weight & Commercial License

Apache 2.0 licensing allows full use, adaptation, and local deployment—ideal for enterprise control.

Agentic Workflow Ready

Suited for powering multi-step reasoning agents, copilots, and complex automation systems.

Benchmark-Topping Accuracy

Rivals GPT-4 and Claude 2 in reasoning, QA, and multi-turn dialogue across public benchmarks.

Optimized for Efficient Inference

Supports distributed inference across enterprise GPUs like A100 and H100 with tools like vLLM and DeepSpeed.
