International Conference on Learning Representations, 2023. Notable top-25% (spotlight). Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.14052

Code & model release

You can find model weights on the HuggingFace Hub here (under "Files and Versions" for each model):

• 125M
• 355M
• 1.3B
• 2.7B

An example of how to load the weights is given in benchmarks/benchmark_generation.py. More examples coming soon!
