# Falcon3-7B-Instruct: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
## State-of-the-art large language model useful on a variety of language understanding and generation tasks


Falcon3 family of Open Foundation Models is a set of pretrained and instruct LLMs ranging from 1B to 10B.

This model is an implementation of Falcon3-7B-Instruct found [here](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/Falcon3-7B-Instruct).


This repository provides scripts to run Falcon3-7B-Instruct on Qualcomm® devices.
More details on model performance across various devices, can be found
[here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/falcon_v3_7b_instruct).



### Model Details

- **Model Type:** Model_use_case.text_generation
- **Model Stats:**
  - Input sequence length for Prompt Processor: 128
  - Context length: 4096
  - Precision: w4a16 + w8a16 (few layers)
  - Num of key-value heads: 4
  - Model-1 (Prompt Processor): PromptProcessor
  - Prompt processor input: 128 tokens + position embeddings + attention mask + KV cache inputs
  - Prompt processor output: 128 output tokens + KV cache outputs
  - Model-2 (Token Generator): TokenGenerator
  - Token generator input: 1 input token + position embeddings + attention mask + KV cache inputs
  - Token generator output: 1 output token + KV cache outputs
  - Use: Initiate conversation with prompt-processor and then token generator for subsequent iterations.
  - Supported languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese.
  - Minimum QNN SDK version required: 2.28.2
  - TTFT: Time To First Token is the time it takes to generate the first response token. This is expressed as a range because it varies based on the length of the prompt. The lower bound is for a short prompt (up to 128 tokens, i.e., one iteration of the prompt processor) and the upper bound is for a prompt using the full context length (4096 tokens).
  - Response Rate: Rate of response generation after the first response token.

| Model | Precision | Device | Chipset | Target Runtime | Response Rate (tokens per second) | Time To First Token (range, seconds)
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Falcon3-7B-Instruct | w4a16 | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 QRD | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen5 Mobile | GENIE | 15.8303 | 0.10903 - 3.488966 | -- | Use Export Script |
| Falcon3-7B-Instruct | w4a16 | Snapdragon 8 Elite QRD | Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile | GENIE | 14.02985 | 0.1265205 - 4.048656 | -- | Use Export Script |
| Falcon3-7B-Instruct | w4a16 | Snapdragon X Elite CRD | Snapdragon® X Elite | GENIE | 9.96829 | 0.1973798 - 6.3161536 | -- | Use Export Script |

## Deploying Falcon3-7B-Instruct on-device

Please follow the [LLM on-device deployment](https://github.com/quic/ai-hub-apps/tree/main/tutorials/llm_on_genie) tutorial.



## Installation


Install the package via pip:
```bash
# NOTE: 3.10 <= PYTHON_VERSION < 3.14 is supported.
pip install "qai-hub-models[falcon-v3-7b-instruct]"
```


## Configure Qualcomm® AI Hub Workbench to run this model on a cloud-hosted device

Sign-in to [Qualcomm® AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com/) with your
Qualcomm® ID. Once signed in navigate to `Account -> Settings -> API Token`.

With this API token, you can configure your client to run models on the cloud
hosted devices.
```bash
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN
```
Navigate to [docs](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com/docs/) for more information.



## Demo off target

The package contains a simple end-to-end demo that downloads pre-trained
weights and runs this model on a sample input.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.falcon_v3_7b_instruct.demo
```

The above demo runs a reference implementation of pre-processing, model
inference, and post processing.

**NOTE**: If you want running in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab like
environment, please add the following to your cell (instead of the above).
```
%run -m qai_hub_models.models.falcon_v3_7b_instruct.demo
```


### Run model on a cloud-hosted device

In addition to the demo, you can also run the model on a cloud-hosted Qualcomm®
device. This script does the following:
* Performance check on-device on a cloud-hosted device
* Downloads compiled assets that can be deployed on-device for Android.
* Accuracy check between PyTorch and on-device outputs.

```bash
python -m qai_hub_models.models.falcon_v3_7b_instruct.export
```






## Deploying compiled model to Android


The models can be deployed using multiple runtimes:
- TensorFlow Lite (`.tflite` export): [This
  tutorial](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/android/quickstart) provides a
  guide to deploy the .tflite model in an Android application.


- QNN (`.so` export ): This [sample
  app](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-50/sample_app.html)
provides instructions on how to use the `.so` shared library  in an Android application.
