⚙️Tool of the Day

Meta is Introducing Code Llama, an AI Tool for Coding. Code Llama, a large language model (LLM) that can use text prompts to generate and discuss code. Code Llama is state-of-the-art for publicly available LLMs on coding tasks. It has the potential to make workflows faster and more efficient for developers and lower the barrier to entry for people who are learning to code. Code Llama has the potential to be used as a productivity and educational tool to help programmers write more robust, well-documented software.

Code Llama is a code-specialized version of Llama 2 that was created by further training Llama 2 on its code-specific datasets, sampling more data from that same dataset for longer. Essentially, Code Llama features enhanced coding capabilities. It can generate code and natural language about code, from both code and natural language prompts (e.g., “Write me a function that outputs the fibonacci sequence”). It can also be used for code completion and debugging. It supports many of the most popular programming languages used today, including Python, C++, Java, PHP, Typescript (Javascript), C#, Bash and more.

Code Llama is designed to support software engineers in all sectors — including research, industry, open source projects, NGOs and businesses. But there are still many more use cases to support.

📜 Fun Fact

The logo chosen for Meta is the ‘infinity loop’ that symbolizes endless possibilities and endless universes. It is designed to symbolize the letter ‘M’; and is effective across all screens sizes, and platforms, be it apps or the virtual reality worlds. The iconic blue color has been retained, but the gradient is closer to neon instead of the classical bright that was there previously.
