Meta AI announced<\/a> the launch of \u2018Code Llama,\u2019 a community-licensed artificial intelligence (AI) coding tool built on the Llama2 large language model (LLM), on Aug. 24.<\/p>\n

The new tool is a fine-tuned version of LLama2 that\u2019s been trained specifically for the purpose of generating and discussing computer code. <\/p>\n

According to a blog post from Meta, Code Llama is split into several variants with one model fine-tuned for general coding in a number of languages (including Python, C++, Java, PHP, Typescript, C#, Bash and more).<\/p>\n

Other models include Code Llama Python and Code Llama Instruct. The former is fine-tuned for Python applications. As Meta puts it, this is to further support the AI community:<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause Python is the most benchmarked language for code generation \u2014 and because Python and PyTorch play an important role in the AI community \u2014 we believe a specialized model provides additional utility.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Meta, the emphasis in these first two model variants is on understanding, explaining, and discussing code. <\/p>\n

Code Llama Instruct, however, is the fine-tuned version of Code Llama that Meta recommends for actually generating code. According to the blog post, it’s been engineered specifically to generate \u201chelpful and safe answers in natural language.”<\/p>\n

The models are also available in different parameter sizes in order to operate in different environments. Code Llama comes in 7-billion, 14-billion, and 34-billion parameter sizes, each with different functionality. <\/p>\n

Meta says the 7B models, for example, can run on a single GPU. While the 14B and 34B models would require more substantial hardware, they\u2019re also capable of more complex tasks \u2014 especially those requiring low-latency feedback such as real-time processes. <\/p>\n

Code Llama is generally available<\/a> under the same community license agreement as Llama2, meaning it can be used for personal or business use with proper attribution. <\/p>\n

This could be a massive boon for businesses and individuals who have a high need use-case for LLM models for coding purposes, such as fintech institutions that are traditionally underserved by the AI and big tech communities. <\/p>\n

Web3 innovators, trading bot developers, and cryptocurrency exchanges all operate in a constantly-shifting environment that, to date, has seen relatively little in the way of dedicated B2B or B2C solutions for day-to-day crypto and blockchain coding problems from big tech. <\/p>\n

Dedicated coding tools, such as GitHub\u2019s Co-Pilot (built with ChatGPT technology) can go a long way towards aiding developers in these underserved areas, but the costs of use can be prohibitive for some users and the lack of open-source options can pose problems for proprietary software developers. <\/p>\n

The existence of a free-to-use, community-licensed alternative based on Meta\u2019s highly-touted Llama2 LLM could help level the playing field for blockchain and crypto projects with small development teams. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
