+The BigCode project is an open-scientific collaboration working on the responsible development of large language models for code.1 This tech report describes the progress of the collaboration until December 2022, outlining the current state of the Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
+redaction pipeline, the experiments conducted to de-risk the model architecture, and the experiments investigating better preprocessing methods for the training data. We train 1.1B parameter models on the Java,
+JavaScript, and Python subsets of The Stack (Kocetkov et al., 2022) and
+evaluate the models on MultiPL-E (Cassano et al., 2022), a text2code
+benchmark available in 18 programming languages. We find that more
+aggressive filtering of near-duplicates can further boost performance and,
+surprisingly, that selecting files from repositories with 5+ GitHub stars
+deteriorates performance significantly. Our best model outperforms previous open-source multilingual code generation models (InCoder-6.7B and
+CodeGen-Multi-2.7B) in both left-to-right generation and infilling on the
+Java, JavaScript, and Python portions of MultiPL-E, despite being a substantially smaller model. All models are released under an OpenRAIL
+license at https://hf.co/bigcode
