I always cite my sources, and you&amp;#x27;ll find a link to your page as usual. I wanted to point you towards OpenAI&amp;#x27;s FIM 6.9B as well. Trained on 100B tokens (Chinchilla-aligned), it was announced just before GPT-4 allegedly started training. I didn&amp;#x27;t see anyone else talking about it, but maybe you could follow the rabbit trail even further, so to speak! https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.14255&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2207.14255/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

It was also trained using fill-in-the middle [1].

The biggest thing that it lacks is the ability to make use of context after the cursor. Unfortunately, that capability will require retraining the models: https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.14255&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2207.14255/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
