RWKV-LM

RWKV is an innovative RNN-based Language Model that delivers the exceptional performance of transformer-level Large Language Models (LLMs). This remarkable fusion of RNN simplicity with transformer efficiency creates a model that is highly parallelizable, akin to the GPT models. RWKV is not only swift in inference but also demonstrates expedient training speeds while being memory-efficient, thereby conserving valuable VRAM. It supports an "infinite" context length, allowing it to handle very long sequences of data seamlessly. Furthermore, users benefit from free sentence embedding capabilities, enhancing its utility for a wide array of natural language processing applications. As an Apache-2.0 licensed project, it stands as a public repository on GitHub, inviting collaboration and continued development.
