CodeGen2 (CodeGen2-16B)
Model description
CodeGen2 is a family of autoregressive language models for
program synthesis, introduced in the paper:
CodeGen2: Lessons for Training LLMs on Programming and Natural Languages by Erik Nijkamp*, Hiroaki Hayashi*, Caiming Xiong, Silvio Savarese, Yingbo Zhou.
Unlike the original CodeGen model family (i.e., CodeGen1), CodeGen2 is capable of infilling, and supports more programming languages.
Four model sizes are released: 1B, 3.7B, 7B, 16B.
How to use
This model can be easily loaded using the AutoModelForCausalLM functionality.
Causal sampling
For regular causal sampling, simply generate completions given the context:
1from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
2tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Salesforce/codegen2-16B")
3model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Salesforce/codegen2-16B", trust_remote_code=True, revision="main")
4
5text = "def hello_world():"
6input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
7generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids, max_length=128)
8print(tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
Infill sampling
For infill sampling, we introduce three new special token types:
<mask_N>: N-th span to be masked. In practice, use <mask_1> to where you want to sample infill.<sep>: Separator token between the suffix and the infilled sample. See below.<eom>: "End-Of-Mask" token that model will output at the end of infilling. You may use this token to truncate the output.
For example, if we want to generate infill for the following cursor position of a function:
1def hello_world():
2 |
3 return name
we construct an input to the model by
- Inserting
<mask_1> token in place of cursor position
- Append
<sep> token to indicate the boundary
- Insert another
<mask_1> to indicate which mask we want to infill.
The final snippet looks as follows:
1from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
2tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Salesforce/codegen2-16B")
3model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Salesforce/codegen2-16B", trust_remote_code=True, revision="main")
4
5
6def format(prefix, suffix):
7 return prefix + "<mask_1>" + suffix + "<|endoftext|>" + "<sep>" + "<mask_1>"
8
9
10prefix = "def hello_world():\n "
11suffix = " return name"
12text = format(prefix, suffix)
13input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
14generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids, max_length=128)
15print(tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=False)[len(text):])
You might want to truncate the model output with <eom>.
Training data
This checkpoint is trained on the stricter permissive subset of
the deduplicated version of the Stack dataset (v1.1). Supported languages (and frameworks) are as follows:
c,
c++,
c-sharp,
dart,
go,
java,
javascript,
kotlin,
lua,
php,
python,
ruby,
rust,
scala,
shell,
sql,
swift,
typescript,
vue.
Training procedure
CodeGen2 was trained using cross-entropy loss to maximize the likelihood of sequential inputs.
The input sequences are formatted in two ways: (1) causal language modeling and (2) file-level span corruption.
Please refer to the paper for more details.
Evaluation results
We evaluate our models on HumanEval and HumanEval-Infill. Please refer to the
paper for more details.
Intended use and limitations
As an autoregressive language model, CodeGen2 is capable of extracting features from given natural language and programming language texts, and calculating the likelihood of them.
However, the model is intended for and best at program synthesis, that is, generating executable code given English prompts, where the prompts should be in the form of a comment string. The model can complete partially-generated code as well.
Ethical Considerations
This release is for research purposes only in support of an academic paper. Our models, datasets, and code are not specifically designed or evaluated for all downstream purposes. We strongly recommend users evaluate and address potential concerns related to accuracy, safety, and fairness before deploying this model. We encourage users to consider the common limitations of AI, comply with applicable laws, and leverage best practices when selecting use cases, particularly for high-risk scenarios where errors or misuse could significantly impact people’s lives, rights, or safety. For further guidance on use cases, refer to our AUP and AI AUP.
