Seed-Coder-8B-Reasoning

Technical Report

Introduction

We are thrilled to introduce Seed-Coder, a powerful, transparent, and parameter-efficient family of open-source code models at the 8B scale, featuring base, instruct, and reasoning variants. Seed-Coder contributes to promote the evolution of open code models through the following highlights.

Model-centric: Seed-Coder predominantly leverages LLMs instead of hand-crafted rules for code data filtering, minimizing manual effort in pretraining data construction.
Transparent: We openly share detailed insights into our model-centric data pipeline, including methods for curating GitHub data, commits data, and code-related web data.
Powerful: Seed-Coder achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size across a diverse range of coding tasks.

This repo contains the Seed-Coder-8B-Reasoning model, which has the following features:

Type: Causal language models
Training Stage: Pretraining & Post-training
Data Source: Public datasets
Context Length: 65,536

Requirements

You will need to install the latest versions of transformers and accelerate:

pip install -U transformers accelerate

Quickstart

Here is a simple example demonstrating how to load the model and perform code generation using the Hugging Face pipeline API:

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "ByteDance-Seed/Seed-Coder-8B-Reasoning"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a quick sort algorithm."},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
    add_generation_prompt=True,  
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=16384)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][input_ids.shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

Evaluation

Seed-Coder-8B-Reasoning strikes impressive performance on competitive programming, demonstrating that smaller LLMs can also be competent on complex reasoning tasks. Our model surpasses QwQ-32B and DeepSeek-R1 on IOI'2024, and achieves an ELO rating comparable to o1-mini on Codeforces contests.
