+# StarCoder
+In this directory, you will find examples on how you could apply BigDL-LLM INT4 optimizations on StarCoder models. For illustration purposes, we utilize the [bigcode/starcoder](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoder) as a reference StarCoder model.
+
+## 0. Requirements
+To run these examples with BigDL-LLM, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to [here](../README.md#recommended-requirements) for more information.
+
+## Example: Predict Tokens using `generate()` API
+In the example [generate.py](./generate.py), we show a basic use case for an StarCoder model to predict the next N tokens using `generate()` API, with BigDL-LLM INT4 optimizations.
+### 1. Install
+We suggest using conda to manage environment:
+```bash
+conda create -n llm python=3.9
+conda activate llm
+
+pip install bigdl-llm[all] # install bigdl-llm with 'all' option
+```
+
+### 2. Run
+```
+python ./generate.py --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH --prompt PROMPT --n-predict N_PREDICT
+```
+
+Arguments info:
+- `--repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH`: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the StarCoder model to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be `'bigcode/starcoder'`.
+- `--prompt PROMPT`: argument defining the prompt to be infered (with integrated prompt format for chat). It is default to be `'def print_hello_world():'`.
+- `--n-predict N_PREDICT`: argument defining the max number of tokens to predict. It is default to be `32`.
+
+> **Note**: When loading the model in 4-bit, BigDL-LLM converts linear layers in the model into INT4 format. In theory, a *X*B model saved in 16-bit will requires approximately 2*X* GB of memory for loading, and ~0.5*X* GB memory for further inference.
+>
+> Please select the appropriate size of the StarCoder model based on the capabilities of your machine.
+
+#### 2.1 Client
+On client Windows machine, it is recommended to run directly with full utilization of all cores:
+```powershell
+python ./generate.py 
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Server
+For optimal performance on server, it is recommended to set several environment variables (refer to [here](../README.md#best-known-configuration-on-linux) for more information), and run the example with all the physical cores of a single socket.
+
+E.g. on Linux,
+```bash
+# set BigDL-Nano env variables
+source bigdl-nano-init
+
+# e.g. for a server with 48 cores per socket
+export OMP_NUM_THREADS=48
+numactl -C 0-47 -m 0 python ./generate.py
+```
+
+#### 2.3 Sample Output
+#### [bigcode/starcoder](https://huggingface.co/bigcode/starcoder)
+```log
+-------------------- Prompt --------------------
+def print_hello_world():
+-------------------- Output --------------------
+def print_hello_world():
+    print("Hello World!")
+
+
+def print_hello_name(name):
+    print(f"Hello {name}!")
+
+
+def print_
+```
