## Model Summary

This is the [Megatron-LM](https://github.com/bigcode-project/Megatron-LM) version of [StarCoderPlus](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoderplus/).

StarCoderPlus is a fine-tuned version of [StarCoderBase](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoderbase) on 600B tokens from the English web dataset [RedefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) 
combined with [StarCoderData](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/starcoderdata) from [The Stack (v1.2)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack) and a Wikipedia dataset.
It's a 15.5B parameter Language Model trained on English and 80+ programming languages. The model uses [Multi Query Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150),
[a context window of 8192 tokens](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135),  and was trained using the [Fill-in-the-Middle objective](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.14255) on 1.6 trillion tokens.

- **Project Website:** [bigcode-project.org](https://www.bigcode-project.org)
- **Point of Contact:** [contact@bigcode-project.org](mailto:contact@bigcode-project.org)
- **Languages:** English & 80+ Programming languages


## Use

### Intended use

The model was trained on English and 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. However, the instruction-tuned version in [StarChat](hhttps://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/starchat-playground) makes a capable assistant.

**Feel free to share your generations in the Community tab!**

### Generation
```python
# pip install -q transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

checkpoint = "bigcode/starcoderplus"
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:

```python
input_text = "<fim_prefix>def print_hello_world():\n    <fim_suffix>\n    print('Hello world!')<fim_middle>"
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

### Attribution & Other Requirements

The training code 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/starcoder-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 a mixture of English text from the web and GitHub code. Therefore it might encounter limitations when working with non-English text, and can carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online.
Additionally, the generated code should be used with caution as it may contain errors, inefficiencies, or potential vulnerabilities. For a more comprehensive understanding of the base model's code limitations, please refer to See [StarCoder paper](hhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2305.06161).
