# Squash Code Corruptor Model

T5-based model for generating realistic Python code bugs for educational purposes.

## Model Description

This model is trained to introduce realistic bugs into Python code, including:
- Logic errors (operator swaps, off-by-one errors, wrong variables)
- Syntax errors (missing colons, indentation issues)

Trained on 1500 examples:
- 1000 syntax error pairs
- 500 logic error pairs (7 different categories)

## Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("onegaiosu/squash-code-corruptor")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("onegaiosu/squash-code-corruptor")

# Corrupt code
code = "def add(a, b):\n    return a + b"
inputs = tokenizer(code, return_tensors="pt", max_length=512, truncation=True)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=512, temperature=0.8)
corrupted = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
```

## Training Data

Custom dataset of Python code pairs (correct → buggy) focusing on common programming mistakes
for beginner and intermediate learners.

## Intended Use

Educational tool for the Squash app - helping students learn Python by fixing intentionally buggy code.

## Limitations

- Trained specifically on Python code
- May not work well with very long or complex code snippets
- Best for code snippets under 50 lines
