LLaMA 3.2 3B - Java Code Generation (Reflection)
This model is a fine-tuned version of meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B specifically trained for Java method generation using a novel reflection-based meta-learning approach.
Model Description
- Base Model: LLaMA 3.2 3B
- Training Method: Reflection-based Meta-Learning
- Task: Java method generation from natural language descriptions
- Training Data: 100k examples from CodeXGLUE dataset with Claude annotations

Training Details
Dataset
Trained on Naholav/llama3.2-java-codegen-90sft-10meta-claude-v1:
- 90,000 SFT examples for standard training
- 10,000 meta-annotated examples with Claude's error analysis and learning insights
- Source: CodeXGLUE text-to-code (Java) dataset
Reflection-Based Training
This model uses a unique teacher-student reflection paradigm:
- Teacher: Claude 4 Sonnet provides error analysis and guidance
- Student: LLaMA 3.2 3B learns from its mistakes through structured reflection
- Meta examples include error analysis and learning insights for deeper understanding

- Max Length: 2048 tokens
- Precision: float32 (for stability)
- Optimizer: AdamW
- Scheduler: Cosine with warmup
- Early Stopping: Dual tracking (SFT and Meta losses)
Hardware
- GPU: NVIDIA A100 80GB
- Training Time: ~9 hours
- Framework: PyTorch 2.0+ with Transformers
Usage
Installation
pip install transformers torchQuick Start
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "Naholav/llama-3.2-3b-100k-codeXGLUE-reflection"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
# Prepare prompt
task_description = "returns the sum of two integers"
prompt = f"""You are an expert Java programmer. Generate a complete, working Java method for the given description.
Task: {task_description}
Requirements:
- Write a complete Java method
- Use proper syntax and naming conventions
- Include return statements where needed
- Keep it concise but functional
"""
Generate code
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, returntensors="pt").to(model.device) outputs = model.generate( **inputs, maxnewtokens=150, temperature=0.2, dosample=True, topp=0.95, padtokenid=tokenizer.eostoken_id )
generatedcode = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skipspecialtokens=True) print(generatedcode)
### Expected Output Format
The model generates Java methods following this pattern:public int sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
### Testing on Your Own Data
For local evaluation, you can use:
- **Test dataset from this project**: [100 examples](https://github.com/naholav/sft-vs-reflection-llama3-codexglue/blob/main/create%20meta%20dataset%20and%20test%20dataset/codexglue_test_100_samples.json)
- **Original Microsoft test set**: [2k examples](https://github.com/microsoft/CodeXGLUE/blob/main/Text-Code/text-to-code/dataset/concode/test.json)
**Important**: Remember to clean the natural language descriptions before inference:def cleannl(nldescription): cleaned = nldescription.replace("concodefieldsep", " | ") cleaned = cleaned.replace("concodeelem_sep", ", ") return ' '.join(cleaned.split())
## Performance
The model was evaluated during training with:
- Separate tracking of SFT and Meta losses
- 5 evaluations per epoch
- Dual early stopping based on both loss types
- Best checkpoint selected based on average validation loss
## Reflection Training Methodology
This model was trained using a novel approach where:
1. **Error Recognition**: Model learns to identify common coding mistakes
2. **Pattern Analysis**: Understands method signatures and class structures
3. **Knowledge Gaps**: Recognizes missing OOP concepts
4. **Improvement Strategy**: Internalizes better coding patterns
Meta examples included structured reflection prompts with:
- Student's incorrect attempt
- Teacher's correct implementation
- Detailed error analysis
- Learning insights and guidance
## Comparison with SFT Model
This is the reflection-based version. For comparison with standard supervised fine-tuning:
- [SFT Model](https://huggingface.co/Naholav/llama-3.2-3b-100k-codeXGLUE-sft)
- [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/naholav/sft-vs-reflection-llama3-codexglue) for implementation details
## Limitations
- Trained specifically for Java method generation
- May not generalize well to full classes or other programming languages
- Best suited for single-method generation tasks
- Context window limited to 2048 tokens
## Ethical Considerations
- The model should not be used to generate malicious code
- Generated code should be reviewed before use in production
- Not suitable for generating code that handles sensitive data without proper review
## Key Differences from SFT Model
- **Training Data**: Uses same dataset but processes meta examples differently
- **Learning Paradigm**: Teacher-student reflection vs direct imitation
- **Loss Tracking**: Dual tracking of SFT and Meta losses
- **Expected Benefit**: Better understanding of coding patterns and error avoidance
