PyCodeGPT

A pre-trained GPT model for Python code completion and generation

What is it?

PyCodeGPT is efficient and effective GPT-Neo-based model for python code generation task, which is similar to OpenAI Codex, Github Copliot, CodeParrot, AlphaCode.

Training Data

Due to the small size of public released dataset, we proposed to collect data from GitHub from scratch. We first crawled 1.2M python-related repositories hosted by GitHub. Then, we used these repository URLs to download all contents of each repository from GitHub. After that, we got 60M raw python files under 1MB with a total size of 330GB. Finally, we carefully designed various strategies of data cleaning to get about 96GB data for training. Please refer to the following table for the details.

Model	Repositories	Size and file after filtering
CodeParrot	0.56M	12GB (compressed), 5.4M
Codex	54M	159GB
PyCodeGPT	1.2M	96GB, 13M

Pretrained models

we aims to train median-large pre-trained models (model size with 110M) based on GPT-Neo:

PyCodeGPT-110M: derived from GPT-Neo 125M with a vocabulary size of 32K.
