# Model Summary

This is the Megatron-version of [SantaCoder](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/santacoder).
We refer the reader to the [SantaCoder model page](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/santacoder) for full documentation about this model


- **Repository:** [bigcode/Megatron-LM](https://github.com/bigcode-project/Megatron-LM)
- **Project Website:** [bigcode-project.org](www.bigcode-project.org)
- **Paper:** [🎅SantaCoder: Don't reach for the stars!🌟](https://t.co/YV3pzUbYOr)
- **Point of Contact:** [contact@bigcode-project.org](mailto:contact@bigcode-project.org)
- **Languages:** Python, Java, and JavaScript

# Use

## Intended use

The model was trained on GitHub code. As such it is _not_ an instruction model and commands like "Write a function that computes the square root." do not work well.
You should phrase commands like they occur in source code such as comments (e.g. `# the following function computes the sqrt`) or write a function signature and docstring and let the model complete the function body.

### Attribution & Other Requirements

The pretraining dataset of the model was filtered for permissive licenses only. Nevertheless, the model can generate source code verbatim from the dataset. The code's license might require attribution and/or other specific requirements that must be respected. We provide a [search index](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/santacoder-search) that let's you search through the pretraining data to identify where generated code came from and apply the proper attribution to your code.

# Limitations

The model has been trained on source code in Python, Java, and JavaScript. The predominant language in source is English although other languages are also present. As such the model is capable to generate code snippets provided some context but the generated code is not guaranteed to work as intended. It can be inefficient, contain bugs or exploits.

# Training

## Model

- **Precision:** float16

## Hardware

- **GPUs:** 96 Tesla V100
- **Training time:** 6.2 days
- **Total FLOPS:** 2.1 x 10e21

## Software

- **Orchestration:** [Megatron-LM](https://github.com/bigcode-project/Megatron-LM)
- **Neural networks:** [PyTorch](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch)
- **FP16 if applicable:** [apex](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex)
