Now that there is a pretrained dataset containing Python source code in form of text, next task would be to create a tokenizer specific to the code. Tokenization Tokenization is the process of converting text into a numerical representation that a model can process. The simplest possible encoding is mapping each character to its ASCII value: >>> list("hello world".encode('ascii')) [104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100] ASCII works, but it is limited to 128 symbols. Modern text includes code comments, Unicode identifiers, and emojis. That’s where Unicode comes in. ...

In previous posts, I explored how to pretrain a language model. The setup for pretraining used Llama 3.2 1B base model trained on tokyotech-llm/swallow-code-v2 dataset for Fill-in-Middle (FIM) task. The mistake here was using narrow code-only corpus as pretraining dataset. A more practical pipeline would be to begin with a broadly pretrained base model, optionally continue pretraining it on high-quality code, and then apply SFT using verified prompt–response demonstrations. Pretraining task are used to learn language representation across various tasks. ...
