Falcon 2
Falcon 2 is a TII open-weight language-model release. The second-generation release introduces an 11B multilingual text model and related vision-language tier. Training extends across several trillion RefinedWeb and curated tokens. Text generation and image-to-text understanding are grouped within this family; image input applies to the VLM variant, not the original text-only checkpoint. Published license terms and checkpoint-specific hardware needs apply. Generated text can contain unsupported claims; sparse computation, reduced precision, or hybrid sequence modeling does not remove the need for task evaluation.
