Falcon2 11B

Falcon2 11B is a raw pretrained text model with published weights. It is a foundation for further training, not an instruction-tuned chat checkpoint.

Training and release background

Its training combined English and European-language web data with technical, code and conversational material. Four stages increased the training length from 2,048 to 8,192 tokens and ended with higher-quality data. The card points to Falcon3-7B-Base as a newer model.Falcon2 11B model card

Plan the adaptation before using it

Practical guidance. For a fine-tuning project, define the target task and output format before selecting this base model. Chat-style prompts do not turn a raw checkpoint into an instruction model. A comparison with newer bases should use the same training data and budget.
