AI21Labs recently released its latest Jamba 1.6 series large language model, which is known as the most powerful and efficient long text processing model on the market. Compared with the traditional Transformer model, the Jamba model exhibits higher speed and quality when dealing with long contexts, and its inference speed is 2.5 times faster than similar models, marking a new technological breakthrough.
The Jamba 1.6 series includes Jamba Mini (1.2 billion parameters) and Jamba Large (9.4 billion parameters), and is optimized for commercial applications, with function calls, structured outputs (such as JSON) and reality-based generation capabilities. These models have a wide range of applications, ranging from enterprise-level intelligent assistants to academic research, and can play an important role.
This model adopts an open source license agreement called Jamba Open Model License, allowing users to conduct research and commercial use under the premise of following relevant terms. In addition, the Jamba1.6 series has a knowledge deadline of March 5, 2024 and supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, German, Arabic and Hebrew, ensuring that it adapts to the needs of users around the world.
In terms of performance evaluation, Jamba Large 1.6 performed well in multiple benchmarks. In standard tests such as Arena Hard, CRAG and FinanceBench, their scores surpassed their competitors, showing their outstanding language comprehension and generation capabilities. The Jamba model is particularly prominent in dealing with long texts.
To ensure efficient inference, users using Jamba models need to install the relevant Python libraries first and CUDA devices are required to support the operation of the model. Users can run the model through the vLLM or transformers framework. With the support of large-scale GPUs, Jamba Large 1.6 can handle contexts up to 256K, which was not possible in previous models.
