Technical principles of 360Zhinao2-7B
- Large-scale pretraining：
- Two-stage training method: First conduct large-scale indiscriminate data training, then increase the proportion of high-quality data for the second stage of training.
- Training with large amounts of data: Model training involves 10T (trillion) tokens in the first stage of training and 100B (ten billion) tokens in the second stage of training.
- Transformer architecture: Based on the Transformer architecture, a deep learning model widely used in natural language processing tasks.
- Self-attention mechanism: The model uses a self-attention mechanism to process each element in the input sequence, allowing the model to understand complex relationships between words or phrases.
- Context modeling: Chat models support contexts of different lengths and can generate replies based on dialogue history, requiring the model to have good context modeling capability.
- Optimization strategies：
- Learning rate scheduling: Uses learning rate scheduling strategies such as cosine annealing to optimize the training process.
- Mixed precision training: Uses mixed precision training techniques such as BF16 (Brain Floating Point 16) to improve training efficiency and reduce memory usage.
