DeepSeek-Coder-V2: Breaking the Barrier of Closed-Source Models in Code Intelligenc

DeepSeek-Coder-V2: A Breakthrough in Code Intelligence

Introduction
DeepSeek-Coder-V2 is a cutting-edge, open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) code language model that excels in code-specific tasks. Built on an intermediate checkpoint of DeepSeek-V2, it has been pre-trained with an additional 6 trillion tokens. This pre-training enhances its coding and mathematical reasoning abilities while maintaining strong performance in general language tasks.

Model Features

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 significantly outperforms its predecessor, DeepSeek-Coder-33B, in various code-related tasks and reasoning capabilities. It supports a wide range of programming languages, expanding from 86 to 338, and can handle context lengths from 16K to 128K tokens.

Benchmark Performance

In standard evaluations, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 surpasses closed-source models like GPT4-Turbo, Claude 3 Opus, and Gemini 1.5 Pro in coding and math benchmarks. For instance, in code generation tasks, it shows remarkable improvements over other models in benchmarks such as HumanEval, MBPP+, LiveCodeBench, and USACO.

Model Variants

Two main variants of DeepSeek-Coder-V2 are available:

• Lite Models: 16B parameters with 2.4B active parameters.
• Full Models: 236B parameters with 21B active parameters.

These models are available in both base and instruct formats, and can be downloaded from HuggingFace.

Evaluation Metrics

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 exhibits exceptional performance in several key areas:

• Code Generation: Outperforms other models in multiple benchmarks, demonstrating high accuracy and efficiency.
• Code Completion: Shows superior performance in RepoBench for Python and Java, and HumanEval FIM.
• Code Fixing: Achieves top scores in Defects4J, SWE-Bench, and Aider.
• Mathematical Reasoning: Excels in GSM8K, MATH, AIME 2024, and Math Odyssey benchmarks.

General Natural Language Performance

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 also performs well in general natural language benchmarks, proving its versatility. It scores high in BBH, MMLU, ARC-Easy, ARC-Challenge, TriviaQA, NaturalQuestions, and several Chinese language benchmarks.

Context Window Performance

The model's ability to handle long context windows is tested with the 'Needle In A Haystack' (NIAH) tests, where it shows robust performance across all lengths up to 128K.
