Hugging Face and ServiceNow launch BigCode, a project to open source Large Language Models for code completion

Good news!

"In a bid to change that, AI startup Hugging Face and ServiceNow Research, ServiceNow’s R&D division, today launched BigCode, a new project that aims to develop “state-of-the-art” AI systems for code in an “open and responsible” way. The goal is to eventually release a dataset large enough to train a code-generating system, which will then be used to create a prototype — a 15-billion-parameter model ..."

"Large Language Models (LLMs) are fast becoming an essential tool for all fields of AI research. One striking feature of these large pre-trained models is that they can be adapted to a wide variety of language tasks, often with very little in-domain data.
BigCode is focused on developing state-of-the-art LLMs for code. Code LLMs enable the completion and synthesis of code, both from other code snippets and natural language descriptions, and work across a wide range of domains, tasks, and programming languages. ..."
