Lost in the Flow with Code Talkers: Unveiling the Instruction-Tuning Tax of Large Language Models in Code Tasks
Researchers reveal a critical trade-off in instruction-tuned large language models for code generation: while these models excel at following natural-language commands, they sacrifice performance in code infilling tasks that require completing unfinished programs. This 'Instruction-Tuning Tax' suggests developers must choose between instruction-following capability and effective code completion assistance.
