Meta has launched its own code-writing tool ‘Code Llama,’ that
it claims can make the task of code completion easier. Code Llama is developed off
of Meta’s larger language model ‘Llama 2’ and uses the same community license
as the Llama 2.
Free for research and commercial use, Code Llama is capable
of generating new code strings from prompts as well as debugging specific existing
code strings.
Meta has also developed other versions of Code Llama, including Code Llama-Instrct, which understands instructions in natural language, and Code Llama-Python, a specialized version of the tool.
