How to Fine-tune DeepSeek-Coder

We provide script finetune_deepseekcoder.py for users to finetune our models on downstream tasks.

The script supports the training with DeepSpeed. You need install required packages by:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Please follow Sample Dataset Format to prepare your training data. Each line is a json-serialized string with two required fields instruction and output.

After data preparation, you can use the sample shell script to finetune deepseek-ai/deepseek-coder-6.7b-instruct. Remember to specify DATA_PATH, OUTPUT_PATH. And please choose appropriate hyper-parameters(e.g., learning_rate, per_device_train_batch_size) according to your scenario.

OUTPUT_PATH="<your_output_path>"
