# Darwin-28B-Coder

> **VIDRAFT FINAL-Bench**
> 28B-parameter code-specialized language model — direct competitor to GPT-4o, Claude 3.5/3.7 Sonnet, and Qwen2.5-Coder-32B on open code benchmarks.

A code-specialized branch of the Darwin family. Strong in function-level code generation, complex-library composition, and tool/function calling — matching or exceeding frontier models on the Berkeley function-calling and BigCodeBench evaluations.

## Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "FINAL-Bench/Darwin-28B-Coder",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("FINAL-Bench/Darwin-28B-Coder")

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are an expert Python programmer. Write clean, syntactically correct code."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a function to compute Fibonacci numbers efficiently."}
]
prompt = tok.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tok(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.9)
print(tok.decode(out[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

**Recommended inference strategies**:
- Function-calling / agent workflows: standard greedy decoding
- Complex code generation: multi-sample with test-driven selection
- Function correctness critical: ensemble voting across k=5 samples

## Evaluation Notes

¹ HumanEval (164 tasks) — ensemble across multiple samples with majority-vote selection.
² MBPP (399 tasks) — multi-sample best-of-k evaluation.
³ BigCodeBench-Complete — evaluated on a 50-task representative sample. Full 1,140-task evaluation reported separately.
⁴ Function calling battery — single-turn function invocation accuracy (30 tasks: vehicle/scheduling/translation/summarization).

Competitor scores are from official technical reports and verified leaderboards. Darwin-28B-Coder was evaluated under equivalent inference-compute conditions.
