details

bytebox is a model designed to change public perspective on byte-level language models. It's a deep model pretrained on roughly 1B tokens that demonstrates instruction-following skills with only 60m parameters. Training and inference codes are included.

To the author's knowledge, this is the first-ever decoder-only instruction pretrained byte-level transformer openly available to date.

Prompt

What is Python?

Output

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides confidence towards the use of programming languages and their debugging problems."
