# Seed-Coder-8B-Base |
|
|
|
## Introduction |
|
**Seed-Coder-8B-Base** is an 8-billion-parameter foundation model tailored for code understanding and generation. It is designed to provide developers with a powerful, general-purpose code model capable of handling a wide range of coding tasks. |
|
It features: |
|
- Pre-trained on a **massively curated corpus**, filtered using **LLM-based techniques** to ensure **high-quality real-world code**, **text-code alignment data**, and **synthetic datasets**, resulting in cleaner and more effective learning signals. |
|
- Excels at **code completion** and supports **Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM)** tasks, enabling it to predict missing code spans given partial contexts. |
|
- Robust performance across **various programming languages** and **code reasoning scenarios**, making it ideal for downstream finetuning or direct use in code generation systems. |
|
- **Long-context support** up to 32K tokens, enabling it to handle large codebases, multi-file projects, and extended editing tasks. |
|
|
|
Seed-Coder-8B-Base serves as the foundation for Seed-Coder-8B-Instruct and Seed-Coder-8B-reasoning. |

## Requirements |
|
You will need to install the latest versions of `transformers` and `accelerate`: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
pip install -U transformers accelerate |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Quickstart |
|
|
|
Here is a simple example demonstrating how to load the model and perform code generation using the Hugging Face `pipeline` API: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import transformers |
|
import torch |
|
|
|
model_id = "ByteDance-Seed/Seed-Coder-8B-Base" |
|
|
|
pipeline = transformers.pipeline( |
|
"text-generation", |
|
model=model_id, |
|
model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16}, |
|
device_map="auto", |
|
) |
|
|
|
output = pipeline("def say_hello_world():", max_new_tokens=100) |
|
print(output[0]["generated_text"]) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM) Example |
|
|
|
Seed-Coder-8B-Base natively supports **Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM)** tasks, where the model is given a prefix and a suffix and asked to predict the missing middle content. |
|
This allows for code infilling scenarios such as completing a function body or inserting missing logic between two pieces of code. |
|
|
|
A typical usage flow: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import transformers |
|
import torch |
|
|
|
model_id = "ByteDance-Seed/Seed-Coder-8B-Base" |
|
|
|
pipeline = transformers.pipeline( |
|
"text-generation", |
|
model=model_id, |
|
model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16}, |
|
device_map="auto", |
|
) |
|
|
|
# You can concatenate a prefix, a special FIM separator token, and a suffix |
|
prefix = "def add_numbers(a, b):\n " |
|
suffix = "\n return result" |
|
|
|
# Combine prefix and suffix following the FIM format |
|
fim_input = '<[fim-suffix]>' + suffix + '<[fim-prefix]>' + prefix + '<[fim-middle]>' |
|
|
|
output = pipeline(fim_input, max_new_tokens=512) |
|
print(output[0]["generated_text"]) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Evaluation |
|
|
|
Seed-Coder-8B-Base has been internally evaluated across a variety of code understanding and generation benchmarks. |
|
It demonstrates strong capabilities in: |
|
- Fluent and contextually appropriate code completion. |
|
- Reasoning about code structure and inferring missing logic. |
|
- Generalizing across different programming languages, coding styles, and codebases. |
