OSS-Instruct gives open-source LLMs a huge boost in coding

Researchers from the University of Illinois and Tsinghua University have developed OSS-Instruct, a technique that uses AI models like GPT-4 to generate diverse coding examples for fine-tuning open-source models. Using this method, they created Magicoder, a suite of language models that outperforms most open-source models and approaches the performance of GPT-3.5. This advancement could democratize high-quality coding assistance.
