The UAE government-backed Technology Innovation Institute (TII) has launched Falcon 3, a family of open-source small language models (SLMs) designed for lightweight, single GPU-based infrastructures.
Falcon 3 offers four model sizes and aims to democratize access to advanced AI capabilities for developers, researchers, and businesses.
The demand for SLMs is growing due to their efficiency, affordability, and ability to be deployed on devices with limited resources.
The Falcon 3 models, trained on 14 trillion tokens, outperform or closely match popular open-source counterparts in their size class, and are suitable for various applications across industries.
