StarCoder2 15B Instruct

StarCoder2 15B Instruct excels in coding-related tasks, primarily in Python. It is the first self-aligned open-source LLM developed by BigCode. This model was fine-tuned without any human annotations or distilled data from proprietary LLMs.

The base model uses [Grouped Query Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13245) and was trained using the [Fill-in-the-Middle objective](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.14255) objective on 4+ trillion tokens.
