DeepSeek Coder
DeepSeek Coder is a family of code-specialized decoder-only language models trained on code and natural language. Project-level training and fill-in-the-middle objectives support code completion, while instruction-tuned releases target code generation and explanation. The original release spans 1.3B to 33B parameters, with base and instruct checkpoints. This page covers the original coding family, including the later 7B v1.5 checkpoint; the substantially different Coder-V2 architecture has its own page. Weights permit commercial use subject to the DeepSeek Model License.
