Model Overview

DeepSeek-Coder-6.7B-Base has the following features:

Type: Causal Language Models

• Number of Parameters: 6.7B
• Number of Parameters (Non-Embedding): 5.9B
• Number of Layers: 32
• Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 32 for Q and 4 for KV
• Context Length: 16,384 tokens

The following contains a prompt template. Please construct the prompt according to the template.

Prompt Template：

System Prompt:
You are a code editor. You will be provided the original code snippet and an instruction that specifies the changes you need to make. You will produce the changed code, based on the original code and the instruction given. Only produce the code, do not include any additional prose.

User Prompt:
## Code Before:
{pre_edit_code}

## Instruction:
{instruction}

## Code After:

The following contains a code snippet illustrating how to use the model generate content based on given inputs.
