Model Variations

CodeLlama comes in four model sizes, and three variants: Code Llama:
base models designed for general code synthesis and understanding,
'Code Llama - Python' designed specifically for Python, and 'Code Llama
- Instruct' for instruction following and safer deployment. All variants are
available in sizes of 7B, 13B, 34B, and 70B parameters.

The Innovation Behind CodeLlama 70b

CodeLlama 70b’s distinguishing feature is its proficiency in handling


intricate and extensive code. During its fine-tuning phase, the model has
been trained to manage up to 16,000 tokens and can support a
staggering 100,000 tokens during inference. This capability enables it to
process large code blocks efficiently, making it an invaluable resource
for developers engaged in substantial projects. The model’s design and
training have been meticulously crafted to ensure it can handle the
complexity and volume of modern-day coding tasks. The underlying
technology of CodeLlama 70b is a testament to the power of AI and its
potential to revolutionize industries. Its ability to handle large volumes of
code and its proficiency in multiple languages make it a game-changer in
the field of software development.

Building on the solid foundation laid by its predecessor, Llama 2,


CodeLlama 70b takes a step further by offering enhanced coding
capabilities. It outshines its predecessors by handling more queries with
an impressive accuracy of 53% on the HumanEval benchmark,
surpassing GPT-3.5’s 48.1% and nearing the 67% mark achieved by
GPT-4. This marked improvement in performance is a testament to the

strides made in the field of AI-powered coding, demonstrating the


potential of AI in transforming the coding landscape. The evolution from
Llama 2 to CodeLlama 70b is a clear indication of the rapid
advancements in AI technology, and the potential it holds for the future
of coding.

Training and Fine-tuning Strategy

CodeLlama 70b was developed by fine-tuning Llama 2 using a higher


sampling of code1. It was trained on sequences of 16k tokens and
shows improvements on inputs with up to 100k tokens. This allows it to
efficiently process large blocks of code.

The model was trained on 1T tokens, which is a staggering amount of


data. This extensive training has allowed CodeLlama 70b to reach
state-of-the-art performance among open models on several code
benchmarks.

The 7B and 13B base and instruct models have also been trained with
fill-in-the-middle (FIM) capability, allowing them to insert code into
existing code. This means they can support tasks like code completion
right out of the box.

Unique Features of CodeLlama 70b

● All versions of CodeLlama including CodeLlama 70b are


open-source and free to use for both research and commercial
purposes, making CodeLlama 70b accessible and affordable for
everyone.
● The larger versions, 34B and 70B, offer superior performance and
quality, as they can generate more coherent and diverse code
outputs and perform more complex and challenging tasks.
