Code assistants leverage LLMs to provide intelligent code completion, explanation, refactoring, and debugging capabilities for developers.

Code Completion Engine

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

class CodeCompletionEngine:
    def __init__(self, model_name: str = "bigcode/starcoder"):
        self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
        self.model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
            model_name, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto"
        )

    def complete(self, code_context: str, max_new_tokens: int = 100,
                 temperature: float = 0.2) -> str:
        inputs = self.tokenizer(code_context, return_tensors="pt").to(self.model.device)
        with torch.no_grad():
            outputs = self.model.generate(
                **inputs, max_new_tokens=max_new_tokens,
                temperature=temperature, top_p=0.95
            )
        generated = self.tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:])

        prompt = f"<fim_prefix>{prefix}<fim_suffix>{suffix}<fim_middle>"
        inputs = self.tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(self.model.device)

# Usage
engine = CodeCompletionEngine()
