    StarCoder

    StarCoder

    BigCode

    StarCoder and StarCoderBase are Large Language Models for Code (Code LLMs) trained on permissively licensed data from GitHub, including from 80+ programming languages, Git commits, GitHub issues, and Jupyter notebooks. Similar to LLaMA, we trained a ~15B parameter model for 1 trillion tokens. We fine-tuned StarCoderBase model for 35B Python tokens, resulting in a new model that we call StarCoder. We found that StarCoderBase outperforms existing open Code LLMs on popular programming benchmarks and matches or surpasses closed models such as code-cushman-001 from OpenAI (the original Codex model that powered early versions of GitHub Copilot). With a context length of over 8,000 tokens, the StarCoder models can process more input than any other open LLM, enabling a wide range of interesting applications. For example, by prompting the StarCoder models with a series of dialogues, we enabled them to act as a technical assistant.

    Sculptor
    Sculptor is a coding agent environment from Imbue that embeds software engineering practices into an AI-augmented development workflow; it runs your code in sandboxed containers, spots issues (e.g., missing tests, style violations, memory leaks, race conditions), and proposes fixes that you can review and merge. You can launch multiple agents in parallel, each operating in its isolated container, and use “Pairing Mode” to sync an agent’s branch into your local IDE for testing, editing, or collaboration. Changes go back and forth in real time. Sculptor also supports merging agent outputs while flagging and resolving conflicts, and includes a Suggestions feature (beta) to surface improvements or catch problematic agent behavior. It preserves full session context (code, plans, chats, tool calls) so you can revisit prior states, fork agents, and continue work across sessions.
