This model is a continual pre-training of Llama-3.1-8B on the SwallowCode ablation and multilingual text datasets.
The model was trained to evaluate the performance of syntax-filtered Python code from The-Stack-v2 in the SwallowCode ablation experiments.
It was trained on 50 billion tokens using a mix of 16% SwallowCode (Experiment 2) and 84% multilingual text, following the setup described in the SwallowCode paper.
Training was performed using Megatron-LM.
Use
Intended Use
This model is intended for text completion in English and Japanese, with a focus on code generation tasks due to its training on syntax-error-free Python code from The-Stack-v2. It is part of the SwallowCode ablation models (Experiment 2, exp2-syntax-error-filtered) and evaluates the effect of syntax error filtering in the SwallowCode pipeline. It is not instruction-tuned and is best suited for research purposes.

Evaluation
The model was evaluated using the setup described in the SwallowCode paper, with the lm-evaluation-harness and BigCodeBench. Benchmarks include code generation (HumanEval, HumanEval+) and general tasks (OpenBookQA, TriviaQA, HellaSwag, SQuAD 2.0, XWINO, MMLU, GSM8K, BBH). Results are reported for checkpoints at 10B, 20B, 30B, 40B, and 50B tokens.
