• Abstract: We introduce Stable Code, the first in our new-generation of code language models series, which serves as a general-purpose base code language model targeting code completion, reasoning, math, and other software engineering-based tasks. Additionally, we introduce an instruction variant named Stable Code Instruct that allows conversing with the model in a natural chat interface for performing question-answering and instruction-based tasks. In this technical report, we detail the data and training procedure leading to both models. Their weights are available via Hugging Face for anyone to download and use at https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-code-3b and https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-code-instruct-3b. This report contains thorough evaluations of the models, including multilingual programming benchmarks, and the MT benchmark focusing on multi-turn dialogues. At the time of its release, Stable Code is the state-of-the-art open model under 3B parameters and even performs comparably to larger models of sizes 7 billion and 15 billion parameters on the popular Multi-PL benchmark. Stable Code Instruct also exhibits state-of-the-art performance on the MT-Bench coding tasks and on Multi-PL completion compared to other instruction tuned models. Given its appealing small size, we also provide throughput measurements on a number of edge devices. In addition, we open source several quantized checkpoints and provide their performance metrics compared to the original model.

• Code Representation Learning At Scale [75.04686476303436]
  We fuel code representation learning with a vast amount of code data via a two-stage pretraining scheme. We first train the encoders via a mix that leverages both randomness in masking language modeling and the structure aspect of programming language. We then enhance the representations via contrastive learning with hard negative and hard positive constructed in an unsupervised manner.

• INSPECT: Intrinsic and Systematic Probing Evaluation for Code Transformers [7.255653248042546]
  We use a framework to define 15 probing tasks that exercise surface, syntactic, structural and semantic characteristics of source code. We probe 8 pre-trained source code models, as well as a natural language model (BERT) as our baseline. We find that models that incorporate some structural information (such as GraphCodeBERT) have a better representation of source code characteristics.

  We propose Coder-Reviewer reranking as a method for sampling diverse programs from a code language model and reranking with model likelihood. Experimental results show that Coder-Reviewer reranking leads to consistent and significant improvement over reranking with the Coder model only. Coder-Reviewer reranking is easy to implement by prompting, can generalize to different programming languages, and works well with off-the-shelf hyper parameters.
