Libraries

How to use bigcode/starcoder-co-format with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="bigcode/starcoder-co-format")

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bigcode/starcoder-co-format")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("bigcode/starcoder-co-format", device_map="auto")
