Have you ever wished for a coding assistant that understands your needs just as well as you do? Meet DeepSeek-Coder-V2, an open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that flirts with perfection in code intelligence, competing robustly with advanced models like GPT4-Turbo. In this guide, we’ll explore how to effectively harness this tool, and troubleshoot common issues along the way.

1. Understanding DeepSeek-Coder-V2

Imagine you’re a chef in a mega kitchen, with multiple specialized assistants ready to help. Each assistant excels in a particular cuisine – some in French, others in Italian, and a few in Japanese. Similarly, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 acts like an army of expert cooks (or model experts), each trained on diverse coding languages and tasks, allowing it to shine no matter the programming challenge thrown its way.

2. Getting Started: How to Run DeepSeek-Coder-V2 Locally

Before diving in, ensure your system is equipped with at least 80GB of GPU memory for the BF16 format inference. Ready? Let’s start cooking!

2.1 Code Completion

For a straightforward example to complete a code snippet, follow this:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Base", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Base", trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).cuda()

input_text = "#write a quick sort algorithm"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=128)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

2.2 Code Insertion

This example demonstrates how to insert code into an existing function:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Base", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Base", trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).cuda()

input_text = """<|fim▁begin|>def quick_sort(arr):
    if len(arr) <= 1:
        return arr
    pivot = arr[0]
    left = []
    right = []<|fim▁hole|>        if arr[i] < pivot:
            left.append(arr[i])
        else:
            right.append(arr[i])
    return quick_sort(left) + [pivot] + quick_sort(right)<|fim▁end|>"""
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=128)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)[len(input_text):])

2.3 Chat Completion

Engage in a dialogue with DeepSeek-Coder-V2 to generate code interactively:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct", trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).cuda()

messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': "write a quick sort algorithm in python."}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=512, do_sample=False, top_k=50, top_p=0.95, num_return_sequences=1, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][len(inputs[0]):], skip_special_tokens=True))

3. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Working with advanced models can sometimes lead to hiccups. Here are some troubleshooting tips to resolve potential issues:

• Issue: Model Not Loading
  • Ensure your GPU meets the memory requirements of 80GB.
  • Check your internet connection if the model is being downloaded for the first time.
• Issue: Errors in Code Output
  • Make sure your input text is formatted correctly.
  • Try varying the input prompts for better clarity.
