BGE-Code-v1 is an LLM-based code embedding model that supports code retrieval, text retrieval, and multilingual retrieval. It primarily demonstrates the following capabilities:
git clone https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding.git
cd FlagEmbedding
pip install -e .
from FlagEmbedding import FlagLLMModel
queries = [
"Delete the record with ID 4 from the 'Staff' table.",
'Delete all records in the "Livestock" table where age is greater than 5'
]
documents = [
"DELETE FROM Staff WHERE StaffID = 4;",
"DELETE FROM Livestock WHERE age > 5;"
]
model = FlagLLMModel('BAAI/bge-code-v1',
query_instruction_format="{}\n{}",
query_instruction_for_retrieval="Given a question in text, retrieve SQL queries that are appropriate responses to the question.",
trust_remote_code=True,
use_fp16=True) # Setting use_fp16 to True speeds up computation with a slight performance degradation
embeddings_1 = model.encode_queries(queries)
embeddings_2 = model.encode_corpus(documents)
similarity = embeddings_1 @ embeddings_2.T
print(similarity)
By default, FlagLLMModel will use all available GPUs when encoding. Please set os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"] to select specific GPUs. You also can set os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"]="" to make all GPUs unavailable.
