According to recent information provided by the agency Reuters, Meta Platforms said this Thursday (24) that it will launch a model of Artificial Intelligence designed to support the writing of computer code, which expands its potential.
The company says that this model will be called Code Llama and will be available for free. According to what the Goal shared on his official blog, the system can write code based on human text prompts, and can also be used for code completion and debugging.
This is not Meta's first bet in the field of Artificial Intelligence and the company has already presented and released several AI models, most of them free of charge. One is an opensource language model called Llama.
In turn, the company explains that this new system now revealed is built based on the recent Llama 2 language model from Meta and will be available in different configurations. This will be another step for the owner of the social network Facebook to prepare to compete with the popular code writing tool GitHub Copilot from the Microsoft.
The IA Code Llama template will support popular coding languages like Python, Java, and C++. But Zuckerberg's company warns that the system is not recommended for general text tasks.
The emergence and growing popularity of Chat GPT of OpenAI turned out to be a strong driver of this segment, making several companies look at Artificial Intelligence more closely and bet on this advanced technology.
