Model Card for StarChat Alpha

StarChat is a series of language models that are fine-tuned from StarCoder to act as helpful coding assistants. StarChat Alpha is the first of these models, and as an alpha release is only intended for educational or research purpopses. In particular, the model has not been aligned to human preferences with techniques like RLHF, so may generate problematic content (especially when prompted to do so).

Model Details

Model Description

Model type: A 16B parameter GPT-like model fine-tuned on a blend of the oasst1 and databricks-dolly-15k datasets.
Language(s) (NLP): English
License: BigCode Open RAIL-M v1
Finetuned from model: bigcode/starcoderbase

Model Sources [optional]

Repository: https://github.com/bigcode-project/starcoder
Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/starchat-playground

Uses

StarChat Alpha is intended for educational and/or research purposes and in that respect can be used to probe the programming capabilities of open-source language models.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Like most language models, StarChat Alpha will often hallucinate facts or generate problematic outputs (especially when prompted to do so). StarChat Alpha was fine-tuned from the base model StarCoder Base, please refer to its model card's Limitations Section for relevant information. In particular, the model was evaluated on some categories of gender biases, propensity for toxicity, and risk of suggesting code completions with known security flaws; these evaluations are reported in its technical report.
