Important Limitations

⚠️ Technical Constraints

• Memory Requirements: 6-12GB for optimal performance (INT8 quantized)
• Context Length: 32K tokens (may truncate very large files)
• Specialized Training: Optimized for web technologies, less effective for low-level languages
• Quantization Impact: Some quality degradation expected with aggressive quantization

⚠️ Usage Limitations

• Code Execution: Model does not execute code; generated code requires testing
• Security: May generate code with security vulnerabilities; manual review required
• Dependency Resolution: Cannot resolve external library dependencies automatically
• Runtime Errors: Generated code may contain runtime errors without proper testing

⚠️ Quality Boundaries

• Complex Algorithms: May struggle with advanced algorithmic implementations
• Large Codebases: Limited context may miss cross-file dependencies
• Legacy Code: Trained on modern patterns; may not support deprecated practices
• Domain Specific: Less effective for embedded systems, systems programming, or scientific computing

Deployment Considerations

Memory Optimization

# Memory-efficient configuration
from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig

config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_8bit=True,
    llm_int8_threshold=6.0,
    llm_int8_skip_modules=["embed_tokens", "lm_head"],
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.float16,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4"
)

# Runtime memory estimation
def estimate_memory_usage(config):
    base_memory = 3.09 * 4 / 1024  # 3.09B parameters * 4 bytes/float32
    
    return {
        'fp32': base_memory,
        'fp16': base_memory / 2,
        'int8': base_memory / 4,
        'int4': base_memory / 8,
        'runtime_activation': 0.5  # Additional GB for activations
    }

Inference Optimization

# Enable Flash Attention for memory efficiency
model = model.to(torch.float16)
model = model.eval()

# Use gradient checkpointing for memory savings
model.gradient_checkpointing_enable()

# Enable mixed precision
from torch.cuda.amp import autocast
with autocast():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
