# MiniPLM-llama3.1-212M

[paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.17215) | [code](https://github.com/thu-coai/MiniPLM)

**MiniPLM-llama3.1-212M** is a 212M model with the [LLaMA3.1 achitecture](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.21783) pre-trained from scratch on [the Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/monology/pile-uncopyrighted) using the MiniPLM knowledge distillation framework with the [offcial Qwen1.5-1.8B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/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](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MiniLLM/pile-diff_samp-qwen_1.8B-qwen_104M-r0.5) refined by Difference Sampling in MiniPLM for reproducibility.

## Evaluation

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