Product snapshot

Code Llama is a modern AI assistant built to speed up software development by generating and understanding code. Based on the Llama 2 foundation, it focuses on coding workflows — offering features like contextual code completion, automated debugging help, and the creation of ready-to-use code snippets for a variety of tasks.

Model lineup

  • A general-purpose code model for broad programming needs
  • A Python-tuned variant optimized for Python syntax and patterns
  • An instruction-tuned edition refined to follow natural-language prompts and developer intent

Languages supported

  • Bash
  • C#
  • TypeScript
  • PHP
  • Java
  • C++
  • Python

The system can process very long inputs, supporting sequences up to about 100,000 tokens, which helps when working with large codebases or extensive prompts.

Capabilities and common use cases

Code Llama is primarily aimed at developers and can be used for:

  • Completing partially written code and suggesting next steps
  • Spotting and explaining bugs or problematic patterns
  • Producing concise, context-aware code snippets tailored to the task at hand

Performance and evaluation

On standard code benchmarks such as HumanEval and MBPP, Code Llama has shown strong results compared with other leading models, frequently ranking near the top in coding assessments.

Safety features and intended audience

The system includes built-in safeguards intended to reduce risks that arise from automated code generation. These measures make it suitable for both learners and seasoned engineers who want to accelerate development without sacrificing care around security and correctness.

Suggested substitute

If you’re considering alternatives, Codebay (subscription-based) is a recommended option to evaluate alongside Code Llama.
