Unleashing Code Potential: An Inside Look at DeepSeek Coder's Advanced AI Models

DeepSeek Coder is a series of code language models, available in sizes ranging from 1B to 33B parameters. These models have been trained on a massive dataset consisting of 2T tokens, predominantly code (87%) with some natural language (13%) in both English and Chinese. The models support project-level code completion and infilling by utilizing a large window size of 16K and an additional fill-in-the-blank task. They demonstrate leading performance across various benchmarks like HumanEval, MultiPL-E, MBPP, DS-1000, and APPS. The 33B model, deepseek-coder-33b-instruct, is particularly fine-tuned on 2B tokens of instruction data​​​​.

Examples of using the model include generating code in response to prompts. Users can employ the model for tasks such as writing a quick sort algorithm in Python by using the transformers library in Python to run the model inference​​.
