Introducing StarCoder 2 ⭐️ The most complete open Code-LLM 🤖 StarCoder 2 is the next iteration for StarCoder and comes in 3 sizes, trained 600+ programming languages on over 4 Trillion tokens on Stack v2. It outperforms StarCoder 1 by margin and has the best overall performance…

This is the result of hard work by the BigCode community and supported by ServiceNow Research, Hugging Face and NVIDIA to train the 3B, 7B and 15B models!

The Stack v2 was built with @SoftwareHeritage and the full processed training data is coming soon!

Introducing: StarCoder2 and The Stack v2 ⭐️

StarCoder2 is trained with a 16k token context and repo-level information for 4T+ tokens. All built on The Stack v2 - the largest code dataset with 900B+ tokens.

All code, data and models are fully open!

From 'The Open Source Acid Test', 1999: 'Open source is the latest in a long line of fads that
promise a software development panacea[...] In the unlikely event [it] does play out, I doubt that open source will long influence how software is built.' doi.org/10.1109/2.7457…

#openscience #monitoring

Just stumbled again on this old story on counting lines of code as a measure of programme productivity, still worth sharing folklore.org/Negative_2000_…

Excited to announce the kick off for the #SoFAIR project on making research software findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. The project partners also got to visit the iconic Bletchley Park today - and even the sun came out. ☀️

Looking forward…

Contribution by Ismael Rafols Garcia in the UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 panel on #openscience this morning: #more is not necessarily #better , e.g. when it leads to paying hefty APCs to increase h-indexes. This is quite in line with Informatics Europe statement on #openaccess 👉 informatics-europe.org/component/phoc…

Excited to participate in the UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 workshop on #openscience monitoring today. Here Is a slide from NASA presentation on their #tops initiative, delighted to find Software Heritage cited here! @inria @cnrs ENEA EOSC Association OpenAIRE
