  • StarCoder is a state-of-the-art Large Language Model for Code (Code LLM) trained on diverse GitHub data, including 80+ programming languages, Git commits, GitHub issues, and Jupyter notebooks.
  • StarCoderBase, a 35B Python token model, outperforms existing open Code LLMs and even closed models like code-cushman-001 from OpenAI.
  • StarCoder boasts an impressive context length of over 8,000 tokens, enabling various applications like technical assistance, code autocompletion, and code explanations in natural language.
  • It prioritizes safe model release, featuring PII redaction, attribution tracing, and is available under an improved OpenRAIL license for easy integration into products.
  • StarCoder, along with StarCoderBase, excelled in evaluations like HumanEval, surpassing larger models like PaLM, LaMDA, and LLaMA.
  • Despite its smaller size, StarCoder outperforms models like CodeGen-16B-Mono and code-cushman-001, achieving over 40% in HumanEval with specific prompts.
  • StarCoder's multilingual capacity was assessed in MultiPL-E, showcasing superior performance in various languages and in data science benchmarks like DS-1000.
  • In addition to code completion, StarCoder demonstrated capabilities as a tech assistant, proficient in answering programming-related inquiries.
  • The model was trained on a subset of The Stack 1.2, with a focus on responsibly using permissively licensed code and ensuring the removal of PII.
  • StarCoder is part of the BigCode collaboration between Hugging Face and ServiceNow, dedicated to developing large language models for code responsibly.
  • Additional releases accompanying StarCoder include model weights, training code, evaluation tools, PII datasets, and code attribution tools, among others.
  • StarCoder is complemented by tools like StarCoder Chat, VSCode Extension, and governance resources like StarCoder License Agreement and Membership Test.
