+# starencoder — CoreML (.mlpackage)
+
+CoreML conversion of [bigcode/starencoder](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starencoder) for native Apple Neural Engine / GPU inference on macOS and iOS.
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `model.mlpackage/` | CoreML model (FP16, flexible shapes) |
+| `tokenizer.json` | HF fast tokenizer |
+
+## Details
+
+- **Architecture**: BERT (encoder-only, trained on The Stack code dataset)
+- **Precision**: FP16 (native ANE precision)
+- **Compute units**: `.all` — CoreML schedules across ANE, GPU, and CPU
+- **Input shapes**: batch=1..512, seq_len=1..1024 (flexible range)
+- **Embedding dimension**: 768
+
+## Usage with cai
+
+```bash
+cai index --embed-backend swift --embed-model "rsvalerio/starencoder-coreml"
+```
+
+The Swift backend downloads the `.mlpackage` from this repo, compiles it to `.mlmodelc` on first run (~30-60s), and caches the compiled model for subsequent runs.
+
+## Conversion
+
+Converted using [rsvalerio/models](https://github.com/rsvalerio/models) CI pipeline with `coremltools`.
+
+```bash
+pip install coremltools transformers torch
+python convert.py
+```
