All You need To Know About Phi-3 (Technical Report Walkthrough)

Summary of Summaries:
Phi-3-mini
- Architecture specs: decoder-only transformer, ModelSize: 3.8 billion
parameters, LongRope [ 128K Context length ], Vocab Size [ 32064 ],
trained on 3.3 trillion tokens. at bfloat16.
- Rivals performance to larger models like Mixtral 8x7B and GPT-3.5,
capable of running locally on a smartphone.
- Utilizes high quality training dataset heavily filtered from web data and
llm-generated synthetic data.
- Can be quantized to 4-bits, occupying ≈ 1.8GB of memory.
- Ran natively on iPhone 14 with A16 Bionic chip with inference speed of up
to 12 tokens per second.

Phi-3-small
- Architecture specs: Also decoder-only, 7B parameters, Vocab size [ 100352 ], default context length [ 8k ], Context Length: 8K, Hidden Dimension: 4096, Number of Heads and Layers: Follows 7B class structure.
- Uses tiktoken tokenizer (for enhanced multilingual tokenization)

Phi-3-medium:
- Architecture specs: Also decoder-only, Hidden Dimension: 5120, Number of Heads: 40, Number of Layers: 40, Tokenization: Consistent with other models, Training on 4.8 trillion tokens.

Training Methodology:
- Focuses on high-quality training data deviating from standard scaling laws.
- The models undergo two-phase pre-training using a mix of web sources and synthetic data for general knowledge and logical reasoning skills.

Performance:
- Phi-3-mini achieves competitive scores on standard benchmarks like MMLU and MT-Bench, indicating strong reasoning capabilities.
- Higher variants show even better performance, suggesting effective scaling with increased model size.

Limitations:
- phi-3-mini: limited by its smaller size in tasks requiring extensive factual knowledge, primarily supports English.
- phi-3-small limited multilingual support.

Hosting LLMs locally is a big win for OSS - private, secured inferencing on the go😎

Any idea how much Gigabyte the phi-3 mini will be? 2GB like phi-2 ?

·

the paper mentioned the 4-bit quantized can occupy ~ 1.8GB on the iphone, so it will probably be less than 2GB.
