extra_gated_fields:
I accept the above license agreement, and will use the Model complying with the set of use restrictions and sharing requirements: checkbox
duplicated_from: bigcode-data/starcoderbase-1b
The model was trained on 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, by using the Tech Assistant prompt you can turn it into a capable technical assistant.

Fill-in-the-middle
Fill-in-the-middle uses special tokens to identify the prefix/middle/suffix part of the input and output:
The pretraining 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 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 source code from 80+ programming languages. The predominant natural language in source code is English although other languages are also present. As such the model is capable of generating code snippets provided some context but the generated code is not guaranteed to work as intended. It can be inefficient, contain bugs or exploits. See the paper for an in-depth discussion of the model limitations.

Architecture: GPT-2 model with multi-query attention and Fill-in-the-Middle objective
The model is licensed under the BigCode OpenRAIL-M v1 license agreement. You can find the full agreement here.
