Open Code Models (StarCoder/Code Llama/DeepSeek-Coder/Qwen-Coder)
This family delivered openly released, permissively licensed code LLMs trained on large curated code corpora, with StarCoder pairing a 15B model and an 8K context with documented, opt-out, license-filtered training data to make capable code models usable and inspectable outside the big labs.
Editorial record
Plain-language summary
StarCoder was trained on The Stack, a permissively licensed GitHub corpus with PII redaction and an opt-out mechanism, and supports fill-in-the-middle plus an 8K-token window for repository-scale context. Code Llama (continued-pretraining of Llama 2 on code, long-context and instruct variants) and DeepSeek-Coder (repo-level pretraining with strong data curation) extended the same open, code-specialized line. Together they gave practitioners high-quality open-weight coding models with transparent data provenance, enabling local deployment, fine-tuning, and reproducible evaluation.
