MinPLM-Qwen-200M

paper | code

MiniPLM-Qwen-200M is a 200M model with Qwen achitecture pre-trained from scratch on the Pile using the MiniPLM knowledge distillation framework with the offcial Qwen1.5-1.8B as the teacher model.

We also open-source the pre-training corpus refined by Difference Sampling in MiniPLM for reproducibility.

Evaluation

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

Baseline Models

• Conventional Pre-Training
• VanillaKD
