Seed-Coder-8B-Instruct
Introduction
Seed-Coder-8B-Instruct is an 8-billion-parameter model instruction-tuned specifically for code generation, code reasoning, and code understanding. It is built to empower developers with high-quality, efficient code assistance. It features:
- Trained on a massively curated corpus, where an LLM-based filter is applied to select high-quality real-world code, text-code alignment data, and synthetic datasets — ensuring cleaner and more useful data compared to traditional heuristic-based curation.
- Achieves superior performance across code generation, bug fixing, and reasoning tasks, rivaling or surpassing larger open-source code models.
- Instruction-tuned to reliably follow user intents across a diverse range of coding and reasoning prompts.
- Supports long-context handling up to 32K tokens, enabling processing of complex multi-file projects and detailed coding tasks.
Requirements
You will need to install the latest versions of transformers and accelerate:
pip install -U transformers accelerate
Quickstart
Here is a simple example demonstrating how to load the model and generate code using the Hugging Face pipeline API:
import transformers
import torch
model_id = "ByteDance-Seed/Seed-Coder-8B-Instruct"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_id,
model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
device_map="auto",
)
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Write a quick sort algorithm."},
]
outputs = pipeline(
messages,
max_new_tokens=512,
)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])
Evaluation
Seed-Coder-8B-Instruct demonstrates strong performance across a variety of coding benchmarks, showing:
- Competitive or superior results compared to similarly sized open-source code models.
- Robustness across different programming languages and domains.
- Ability to understand, reason, and repair complex code snippets.
