# bigcodemax

**Maximum coding + reasoning power in 8B parameters**  
Created by **[1kz](https://huggingface.co/1kz)**

An 8B model that punches way above its weight in code generation, software engineering, advanced reasoning, math, and long-context understanding.

## Model Details

- **Developer**: [1kz](https://huggingface.co/1kz)
- **Parameters**: 8.0B (dense)
- **Context length**: 128K (RoPE scaled)
- **Architecture**: Llama-3.1 style (same tokenizer & chat template as Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct)
- **Base model**: Fine-tuned from a strong 8B checkpoint
- **Training inspiration**: Huge thanks to **lfm** for the incredible training recipes, data curation, synthetic data pipelines, and open methodology that made this model possible. Your work continues to inspire and push the frontier for compact high-performance models! ❤️

## Strengths

- Best-in-class code generation, editing, and debugging
- Strong mathematical & logical reasoning (CoT & ToT)
- Excellent at understanding and refactoring large codebases
- Agentic coding, tool use, and multi-step problem solving
- Fast inference on consumer hardware (single 4090 / 24GB VRAM)

## Quick Start

```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="1kz/bigcodemax",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype="auto"
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are bigcodemax, an expert coding and reasoning assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Implement a thread-safe LRU Cache in Python with O(1) operations and explain every design choice step-by-step."}
]

output = pipe(messages, max_new_tokens=2048, temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95, do_sample=True)
print(output[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])
Benchmarks (internal eval)



Massive thank you to lfm — without your public training logs, data mixing strategies, and relentless open-source experimentation, a model this capable at only 8B would not exist. You're building the future of accessible frontier intelligence. 🚀
