Code Llama: A Key Milestone in Code Generation

Code Llama is a family of code large language models developed by Meta based on Llama 2, offering state-of-the-art performance among open-source models. This model has code completion capabilities, supports large input contexts (up to 100,000 tokens), and zero-shot instruction-following ability. The BigCodeLLM-FT-Proj project introduced here provides developers with a minimal example for loading the Code Llama model and running inference.

Model Family and Specifications

Code Llama offers multiple variants to adapt to different application scenarios:

5

Section 05

Base Model (Code Llama)

A general-purpose code generation model supporting multiple programming languages.

6

Section 06

Python-Specialized Model (Code Llama - Python)

Specially trained and optimized for Python code.

7

Section 07

Instruction-Following Model (Code Llama - Instruct)

Fine-tuned to understand and execute natural language instructions.

Section 08

Parameter Scales and Hardware Requirements

Model Scale VRAM Requirement Model Parallelism Value (MP)
7B ~12.55GB 1
13B 24GB 2
34B 63GB 4
70B 131GB 8

All models are trained on 16k token sequences and show improvements on inputs up to 100,000 tokens. The 7B and 13B versions support code completion based on surrounding content.
