Ling-Coder-Lite is a MoE LLM provided and open-sourced by InclusionAI, which has 16.8B parameters with 2.75B activated parameters. This model demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on 12 coding benchmarks, while simultaneously offering competitive latency and throughput compared to code LLMs of similar size. In addition to open-sourcing the model itself, we also release a substantial amount of code-related data, including synthetic QA, SFT and DPO datasets. More details are described in the technique report Ling-Coder-TR.

Quickstart

🤗 Hugging Face Transformers

Here is a code snippet to show you how to use the chat model with transformers:

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "inclusionAI/Ling-Coder-lite"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    model_name, 
    trust_remote_code=True
)

prompt = "Write a quick sort algorithm in python."
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(response)
