# BigCode

BigCode is an open scientific collaboration working on responsible training of large language models for coding applications. You can find more information on the main [website](https://www.bigcode-project.org/) or follow Big Code on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/BigCodeProject). In this organization you can find the artefacts of this collaboration: StarCoder, a state-of-the-art language model for code, The Stack, the largest available pretraining dataset with perimssive code, and SantaCoder, a 1.1B parameter model for code.

## 💫StarCoder
StarCoder is a 15.5B parameters language model for code trained for 1T tokens on 80+ programming languages. It uses MQA for efficient generation, has 8,192 tokens context window and can do fill-in-the-middle.

### Models
