Surpassing the much larger Gemma-2B model from Google in the 2.5B parameter category
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–H2O.ai, the open source leader in Generative AI and machine learning, is proud to announce that its latest open-weights (Apache v2.0) small language model, H2O-Danube2-1.8B, has secured the top position on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard for the <2B range, even surpassing the much larger Gemma-2B model from Google in the 2.5B parameter category. This achievement underscores H2O.ai’s commitment to advancing AI accessibility and performance through innovative open-source solutions.
H2O-Danube2-1.8B is built upon the success of its predecessor, H2O-Danube 1.8B, with notable upgrades and optimizations that have propelled it to the forefront of the 2B SLM category. Leveraging a vast dataset of 2 trillion high-quality tokens, this model builds upon the Mistral architecture and optimizations, such as dropping windowing attention, to deliver unparalleled performance in natural language processing tasks.
“We love this category – a great size to fine tune or post-train on domain specific datasets for our enterprise customers, economically efficient on inference and training, and very easily embedded on edge devices like mobile phones, drones and in offline applications,” commented Sri Ambati, CEO and Founder of H2O.ai. “This model not only outperforms leading competitors like Microsoft Phi-2 and Google Gemma 2, but also provides economic efficiency and ease of deployment for enterprise and edge computing applications.
“With H2O-Danube2-1.8B, we are witnessing the democratization of large language models while ensuring sustainability within current systems,” added Sri Ambati. “The applications of this model are far reaching, from detecting and preventing PII data leakage to improving prompt generation and enhancing guardrails and the robustness of RAG systems.”
H2O.ai continues to drive innovation in AI research and development, empowering organizations to leverage cutting-edge technology without the constraints of traditional resource-intensive approaches.
