About

StarChat Beta is a 16-billion parameter GPT-like large language model designed to serve as a coding assistant. It is built on the StarCoderPlus model and fine-tuned using an "uncensored" version of the openassistant-guanaco dataset, enhancing its coding capabilities but increasing the risk of generating problematic content. The model supports code generation in over 80 programming languages and facilitates conversational interactions, although it may produce biased or inaccurate outputs due to its training data. Primarily recommended for educational and research applications, users should be cautious of potential biases and content risks associated with its uncensored training data.

StarChat Beta is an open-source model in the StarChat family. The structured metadata tracks a 8k-token context window. No headline benchmark score is tracked for StarChat Beta yet.
