TinyStarCoderPy

This is a 159M parameters model with the same architecture as StarCoder (8k context length, MQA & FIM). It was trained on the Python data from StarCoderData for ~6 epochs which amounts to 100B tokens.

Use

Intended use

The model was trained on GitHub code, to assist with some tasks like Assisted Generation. For pure code completion, we advise using our 15B models StarCoder or StarCoderBase.

Generation

# pip install -q transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

checkpoint = "bigcode/tiny_starcoder_py"
device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint).to(device)

inputs = tokenizer.encode("def print_hello_world():", return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Fill-in-the-middle

Fill-in-the-middle uses special tokens to identify the prefix/middle/suffix part of the input and output:

input_text = "<fim_prefix>def print_one_two_three():\n    print('one')\n    <fim_suffix>\n    print('three')<fim_middle>"
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
