To some extent VT 3B is intended as a coding model (see https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1u7dzdr/scaling... ). It reportedly does well on leetcode-type problems, although I didn't check that myself.

I wouldn't use it for anything important without heavy supervision, as it's very weak outside its specialty. Not ideal for instruction-following tasks.
