These models are specialized in code completion, fine-tuned for individual tasks, and adept at adhering to human instructions, demonstrating robustness in handling new tasks. Notably, recent instruction-tuned Code LLMs such as WizardCoder and OctoCoder have achieved cutting-edge performance across various tasks without requiring task-specific fine-tuning. **ASTRAIOS – A Practical Collection of Instruction-tuned Code LLMs** Monash University and ServiceNow Research introduce ASTRAIOS, a collection comprising 28 instruction-tuned Code LLMs. These models undergo fine-tuning using seven tuning methods based on the base models of StarCoder, specifically, models sized at 1B, 3B, 7B, and 16B. This fine-tuning process enhances their downstream capabilities and ensures a balanced enhancement of their capabilities across various tasks. **Practical Applications and Implementation** The research delves into the relationship among updated parameters, cross-entropy loss, and task performance. It is revealed that the final loss of smaller PEFT models can be used to predict that of larger ones. Additionally, a strong correlation exists between the last loss and overall performance in downstream tasks. This consistency implies that the enhancements attained by each tuning method are comparable, irrespective of the model’s scale. **AI Solutions for Middle Managers** If you are looking to evolve your company with AI, stay competitive, and use AI to your advantage, consider implementing ASTRAIOS.
