# THIS IS OUR BEST MODEL - in March 2026!

**Apex 1.5 Coder: Improved reasoning, logic and code. Fixed coding bugs on Apex 1.5 Instruct by finetuning Apex 1.5 Instruct with CodeAlpaca!**


# How to train it
You can train it, using the **finetuned model** LH-Tech-AI/Apex-1.5-Instruct-350M.
Then, use the prepare-script and the finetuning script in the files list of this HF model.

# How to use it
You can download the `apex_1.5-coder.gguf` or use `ollama run hf.co/LH-Tech-AI/Apex-1.5-Coder-Instruct-350M`. And you can also use it in LM Studio for example, just by searching for "Apex 1.5 Coder".

Alternative for ONNX models weights: You can directly download the final model as ONNX format - so it runs without the need to install a huge Python environment with PyTorch, CUDA, etc... - as INT8 and in full precision.
Use `inference.py` for local inference on CUDA or CPU! First, install `pip install onnxruntime-gpu tiktoken numpy nvidia-cudnn-cu12 nvidia-cublas-cu12` on your system (in a Python VENV for Linux users).


Have fun! :D
