GPT-Neo 1.3B

GPT-Neo 1.3B is one of the two models in the initial public GPT-Neo weight release. It is an English text-completion model with downloadable MIT-licensed weights.

Research release

More depth than the 125M model

The configuration specifies 24 layers, a hidden width of 2,048 and 16 attention heads. As in the smaller model, global attention alternates with local attention. The 256-token local window does not replace the full context limit.gpt-neo-1.3b model configuration

A release with a different training budget

This model saw 380 billion training tokens, compared with 420 billion for GPT-Neo 2.7B. A comparison between them therefore changes both model size and training exposure. The original training repository is archived, but the released weights remain downloadable.gpt-neo-1.3b model cardGPT-Neo release history and archived training code
