# BigCode

BigCode is an open scientific collaboration working on responsible training of large language models for coding applications. You can find more information on the main [website](https://www.bigcode-project.org/) or follow Big Code on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/BigCodeProject). In this organization you can find the artefacts of this collaboration: **StarCoder**, a state-of-the-art language model for code, **OctoPack**, artifacts for instruction tuning large code models, **The Stack**, the largest available pretraining dataset with perimssive code, and **SantaCoder**, a 1.1B parameter model for code.
