Nemotron-4-Minitron-4B-Base is a large language model (LLM) obtained by pruning the larger 15B parameter Nemotron-4 model. Specifically, the model size was reduced by pruning the embedding size, number of attention heads, and MLP intermediate dimension. Following pruning, the model was further trained using 94 billion tokens of the same pre-training data used for the original Nemotron-4 15B model. Deriving the Minitron 8B and 4B models from the base 15B model in this way requires up to 40x fewer training tokens compared to training from scratch. This results in a 1.8x compute cost savings for training the full model family. The Minitron models also exhibit up to a 16% improvement in MMLU scores compared to training from scratch, and perform comparably to other community models like Mistral 7B, Gemma 7B and Llama-3 8B, while outperforming state-of-the-art compression techniques. Model Inputs and Outputs Inputs Text**: The model takes text input in the form of a string. Outputs Text**: The model generates text output in the form of a string.
