# 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.
