## Overview
LightLM is a series of 3 language models trained on open-access data (Cosmopedia v2). We present three configurations (one with Mixture-of-Experts and two without) that aim to optimize parameter distribution between Attention and Feed-Forward layers. Despite a relatively modest training corpus of ~28B tokens, these models approach or surpass performance of other models in their parameter range (e.g., MobileLLM, GPT-neo-125M).
1. **Model 1 ([Model Attn](https://huggingface.co/Virg1n/LightLM/tree/main/Model%20Attn))**
- **Layers**: 34
- **Attention dim**: 832
- **FFN dim**: 556
- **Context length**: 1536
2. **Model 2 ([Model FFN](https://huggingface.co/Virg1n/LightLM/tree/main/Model%20FFN))**
- **Layers**: 32
- **Attention dim**: 512
- **FFN dim**: 512 × 4 = 2048
- **Context length**: 1536
3. **Model 3 ([Model MoE 2+1](https://huggingface.co/Virg1n/LightLM/tree/main/Model%20MoE%202%2B1))**
- **Layers**: 32
- **Attention dim**: 384 (experimental setting)
- **FFN**: 2 routed experts + 1 shared expert
- Each expert has 512 × 2 = 1024 hidden units
- 100% of parameters are active; router assigns expert weights per token
- **Context length**: 1024

**Example Output**
Prompt: `"Hello, I am a language model,"`
```
Hello, I am a language model, and I can help you learn more about the language you are interested in.
Let's start with the basics.
```
```
Hello, I am a language model, and I can help you learn some new words and phrases. Maybe you could try
saying "hello" in English first, then move on to Spanish, ...
