StarCoder2-Instruct: Fully Transparent and Permissive Self-Alignment for Code Generation

Hugging Face introduces StarCoder2-Instruct, a code generation model fine-tuned via a self-alignment approach that requires no human-annotated instruction data. The method uses the base model itself to generate synthetic instruction-response pairs, which are then filtered and used for supervised fine-tuning. The model and all training data, pipelines, and evaluation code are released under permissive licenses, making it one of the more transparent instruction-tuned code models available.
