DeepSeek-Coder

Why we included this project

DeepSeek Coder is a family of code-specialized language models you can download and run yourself, which matters if you want a capable code model without depending on a hosted API. Sizes run from 1B to 33B, so you can match the model to your hardware and latency budget. Each one is trained on a project-level corpus with a 16K context window and a fill-in-the-blank objective, which is what lets the base models handle whole-file completion and infilling across dozens of languages. The instruction-tuned variants work as chat-style assistants for explaining or generating code. The repo ships Transformers examples for completion, insertion, and chat inference, plus a local demo app, so getting a model running is mostly pulling weights and writing a few lines. If you are building an internal coding tool or an IDE plugin and want full control over the model, this is a well-documented option worth evaluating.
