## Model Card for Fox-1-1.6B

> [!IMPORTANT]  
> This model is a base pretrained model which requires further finetuning for most use cases. We will release the instruction-tuned version soon.

Fox-1 is a decoder-only transformer-based small language model (SLM) with 1.6B total parameters developed by [TensorOpera AI](https://tensoropera.ai/). The model was trained with a 3-stage data curriculum on 3 trillion tokens of text and code data in 8K sequence length. Fox-1 uses grouped query attention (GQA) with 4 KV heads and 16 attention heads and has a deeper architecture than other SLMs.

For the full details of this model please read our [release blog post](https://blog.tensoropera.ai/tensoropera-unveils-fox-foundation-model-a-pioneering-open-source-slm-leading-the-way-against-tech-giants).
