StarCoder
An open-weight code model from the BigCode project, trained on permissively licensed code.
Definition
StarCoder is an openly downloadable AI model for writing code, from the BigCode project, a collaboration between Hugging Face and ServiceNow Research. It was trained on many programming languages drawn from freely reusable code that let developers opt out, and it can fill in missing code in the middle of a file, not just continue from the end. A later StarCoder2 release covered more languages, could take in more code at once, and comes in several sizes under a license that permits commercial use.
