What is CodeT5+ 220M?
CodeT5+ 220M is an advanced code language model developed by Salesforce that represents a significant evolution in code understanding and generation capabilities. It features a versatile encoder-decoder architecture that can operate in multiple modes (encoder-only, decoder-only, and encoder-decoder), making it highly adaptable for various code-related tasks. The model was trained on a carefully curated, permissively licensed subset of GitHub code data.
Implementation Details
The model employs a sophisticated training approach incorporating multiple pretraining tasks including span denoising, causal language modeling, contrastive learning, and text-code matching. It can be easily implemented using the Hugging Face Transformers library with T5ForConditionalGeneration functionality.
- Leverages both unimodal code data and bimodal code-text data
- Uses compute-efficient pretraining with frozen off-the-shelf LLMs
- Implements a "shallow encoder and deep decoder" architecture
- Supports seamless integration via HuggingFace Transformers
Core Capabilities
- Code completion and generation
- Text-to-code retrieval
