# Model Details

MobileLLM is introduced: "[MobileLLM: Optimizing Sub-billion Parameter Language Models for On-Device Use Cases](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.14905)", published in ICML 2024.

**Model Developer**: Meta

**Model Architecture**: MobileLLM is an auto-regressive language model leveraging an optimized transformer architecture, specifically engineered for on-device applications with constrained resources.
MobileLLM integrated several key techniques including: (1) SwiGLU activation function, (2) deep and thin architectures, (3) embedding sharing, (4) grouped-query attention. MobileLLM-125M/350M attains a remarkable 2.7%/4.3% accuracy boost over preceding 125M/350M SoTA models on zero-shot commonsense reasoning tasks. In our updated version, we further demonstrate that our design philosophy scales effectively to larger models, with SoTA results for MobileLLM-600M/1B/1.5B.

# How to use
We are providing 2 ways to run the model:

[HuggingFace](#huggingface)

[MobileLLM codebase](#mobilellm-codebase)

## HuggingFace
To load the pretrained model for further finetuning or evaluation:
```bash
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/MobileLLM-125M", use_fast_tokenizer=False)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("facebook/MobileLLM-125M", trust_remote_code=True)
```
Note that the default tokenizer does not contain special tokens. For example you can use:
```bash
tokenizer.add_special_tokens(
    {
        "eos_token": "</s>",
        "bos_token": "<s>",
        "unk_token": "<unk>",
    }
)
```
## MobileLLM codebase
We provide the pretraining code in https://github.com/facebookresearch/MobileLLM

```bash
> git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/MobileLLM
> pip install -r requirement.txt

# data pre-process and specify the data path in pretrain.sh
# run pretraining
> bash pretrain.sh 
```
We also provide evaluation script for calculating ppl of wikitext-2 test split:
```bash
> bash eval.sh
```

You can find more details in the GitHub repo.

# Training cost 
It takes the following number of days to train MobileLLM on 1T tokens using 32 NVIDIA A100 80G GPUs.
| 125M | 350M | 600M | 1B | 1.5B | 
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ~3 days| ~6 days| ~8 days | ~12 days | ~18 days |


# Evaluation
We evaluate the pretrained MobileLLM models on Zero-shot Common Sense Reasoning tasks
