+# News 
+
+* 💥 **TII has open-sourced Falcon LLM for research and commercial utilization!** Access the [7B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b)/[40B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b) models, and explore our high-quality web dataset, [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb). 
+* 🤗 TII is calling for proposals from the global research community and SME entrepreneurs to submit use cases for Falcon LLM, learn more about it on the [Falcon LLM website](https://falconllm.tii.ae).
+
+
+# Falcon LLM
+
+Falcon LLM is TII's flagship series of large language models, built from scratch using a custom data pipeline and distributed training library. Papers coming soon 😊.
+
+To promote collaborations and drive innovation, we have open-sourced a number of artefacts:
+* The **Falcon-7/40B** pretrained and instruct models, under the [TII Falcon LLM License](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b/raw/main/LICENSE.txt). Falcon-7B/40B models are state-of-the-art for their size, outperforming most other models on NLP benchmarks.
+* The **RefinedWeb** dataset, a massive web dataset with stringent filtering and large-scale deduplication, enabling models trained on web data alone to match or outperform models trained on curated corpora. RefinedWeb is licensed under Apache 2.0.
+
+See below for a detailed list of artefacts in the Falcon LLM family:
