MiniPLM-Mamba-130M

MiniPLM-Mamba-130M is a 130M model with the Mamba achitecture pre-trained from scratch on the Pile using the MiniPLM knowledge distillation framework with the offcial Qwen1.5-1.8B as the teacher model. This model shows the flexibility of the MiniPLM framework in conducting knowledge distillation across model families.

We also open-source the pre-training corpus refined by Difference Sampling in MiniPLM for reproducibility.

Evaluation

MiniPLM models achieves better performance given the same computation and scales well across model sizes:

Baseline Models

Conventional Pre-Training
