CodeLlama 7B Python

CodeLlama 7B Python is a Python-specialized variant of Meta's CodeLlama 7B, released August 24, 2023. It is produced by further fine-tuning CodeLlama 7B on approximately 100 billion additional Python-specific tokens, sharpening its Python code completion, generation, and fill-in-the-middle (FIM) infilling accuracy. The listing shows 7 billion parameters and a 100K-token context, making it the long-context Python-specific 7B entry in the current model data.

Unlike CodeLlama 7B Instruct, the Python variant is not instruction-tuned for natural language prompts; it operates as a completion and FIM model that expects code context rather than conversational instructions. This makes it appropriate for IDE autocomplete backends, code synthesis pipelines, and batch code generation tasks where Python is the exclusive or primary language. Before relying on the full 100K context for repository-scale Python prompts, verify the limit on the provider row selected for deployment.

CodeLlama 7B Python is available as open weights on Hugging Face (meta-llama/CodeLlama-7b-Python-hf) under Meta's Code Llama Community License, and is hosted on Together AI, Fireworks AI, Azure AI Foundry, and Replicate. The 13B Python variant offers higher Python generation accuracy at greater compute cost. For new deployments, Qwen2.5-Coder or Qwen3-Coder family models offer significantly improved Python benchmarks.
