sweep-next-edit-v2-7B

Blog: https://blog.sweep.dev/posts/oss-next-edit

A 7B parameter model that predicts the next edit a developer will make. Given the current file, recent diffs, and cursor position, the model predicts what code block the developer will change next and how.

Usage

pip install transformers torch accelerate
python inference.py

See inference.py for a complete working example.

from inference import build_prompt, generate, FileChunk, DIFF_FORMAT

prompt, code_block, block_start, relative_cursor = build_prompt(
    file_path="example.py",
    file_contents=edited_contents,
    cursor_position=cursor_position,
    recent_changes=recent_changes,
    retrieval_chunks=[FileChunk("utils.py", "def helper(): ...")],
    changes_above_cursor=False,
)

completion = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt, device="cuda")

Prompt format

The model uses <|file_sep|> delimiters and a <|cursor|> marker:

<|file_sep|>{file_path}
{file_contents}
{retrieval_chunks}
{recent_changes_as_diffs}
<|file_sep|>original/{file_path}:{start}:{end}
{code_block_before_last_edit}
<|file_sep|>current/{file_path}:{start}:{end}
{code_block_with_cursor_marker}
<|file_sep|>updated/{file_path}:{start}:{end}
{prefill}

The model completes the updated/ section with the predicted new code block.

• file_path section: ~300 lines of file context around the cursor
• retrieval chunks: Cross-file context from related files
• recent changes: Diffs of recent edits in original:/updated: format
• original/: Code block around cursor before the last edit
• current/: Same block with <|cursor|> inserted at cursor position
• updated/: Model output — the predicted edited code block

Prefill strategy

The updated/ section is seeded with a prefill to constrain generation:

• Default (changes_above_cursor=False): Prefill everything up to the cursor line. The model only generates from the cursor line onward.
• After insertion (changes_above_cursor=True): Prefill only the first line + trailing blank lines. Gives the model freedom to rewrite lines between the insertion point and cursor.

Recent changes format

<|file_sep|>{file_path}:{start_line}:{end_line}
original:
{old_code}
updated:
{new_code}
