Pythia 160M

Pythia 160M is a base language model in a suite designed for controlled training research. This record describes the current standard-Pile weights.

Research release

Architecture and scale

The network has 12 layers, a hidden width of 768 and about 85.06 million non-embedding parameters. It offers a deeper architecture than Pythia 70M. A parameter label alone does not capture that depth change.pythia-160m model cardpythia-160m model configuration

Weights and training revisions

The release includes 154 saved training steps. The data order is shared with other sizes in the same suite. The main branch provides the final model; a step revision selects an earlier checkpoint. This base model has not been trained as a conversational assistant.pythia-160m model card
