DeepSeek Coder V2
DeepSeek's 236B MoE coder: 338 languages, SOTA open coding in 2024.
About
DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Instruct (June 2024) is DeepSeek's 236B-parameter mixture-of-experts code model (6 experts active per token): 128K context, 338 programming languages, and state-of-the-art open coding performance on release — the model that made DeepSeek a name before V3/R1. Weights are not gated, under the DeepSeek License — custom, non-OSI (commercial use allowed within terms): "open weights", never "open source". 7.4k HF downloads. Superseded for coding by DeepSeek-V3.2 and the R1 reasoning line, but a solid self-hosted code specialist.
