Team Completion model training is a Preview Feature. We look forward to your feedback as we continue to iterate.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Currently, the training results may vary d<\/span>epending on the complexity of your configuration and platform settings<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How\u00a0<\/span>do I<\/span>\u00a0create and use my own model?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

First, ensure that \u201c<\/span>C++ team models for completions<\/span><\/i>\u201d is\u00a0<\/span>Enabled<\/span><\/i>\u00a0under\u00a0<\/span>Tools > Options >\u00a0<\/span><\/i>IntelliCode<\/span><\/i>\u00a0> General > Preview Features<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>The simplest way to train<\/span>\u00a0and test out<\/span>\u00a0a model\u00a0<\/span>is via\u00a0<\/span>View > Other Windows > Train\u00a0<\/span><\/i>IntelliCode<\/span><\/i>\u00a0Model for this\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Repository<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>This will instantly start training a model on your codebase.\u00a0<\/span>After training, your first member list invocation will load your new Team Completions model, and subsequent invocations will\u00a0<\/span>begin to use the new model.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Image\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone who has access to the\u00a0<\/span>repo<\/span>\u00a0will automatically get the model when they open the repo. This way your whole team can benefit without everyone needing to individually train a model.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manually retraining your model<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

You shouldn\u2019t need to retrain your model often. You\u2019ll benefit from retraining if you\u2019ve made significant code changes that you\u2019d like to be reflected in\u00a0<\/span>IntelliCode\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0recommendations. In the case that you do want to retrain, you can\u00a0<\/span>go through the same manual process from the section above.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Automatically creating and retraining a model via Azure Pipelines<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you don\u2019t want to have to think about retraining, you can automatically create and retrain a model as part of your continuous integration pipeline in Azure Pipelines.\u00a0<\/span>You\u2019ll need to install the\u00a0<\/span>Visual Studio IntelliCode Team Model Training task<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from Visual Studio Marketplace to your Azure DevOps organization or Azure DevOps Server. This way, when code changes are pushed to your repo, the build task\u00a0runs\u00a0and your team completions model is retrained. For more detailed instructions, please follow this document on\u00a0<\/span>configuring and automating the build task<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
