Llama Coder is an open-source tool that lets you generate small applications (often React or web apps) from a single natural-language prompt using the Llama 3 family of models. It’s framed as an open-source “Claude Artifacts”-style experience: you describe the app you want, the tool calls an LLM hosted on Together.ai, and you get back a runnable code artifact. The project includes a web interface where you can enter prompts, see generated code, and run or tweak the result directly in the browser. Technically, it is built using a modern TypeScript/Next.js stack and integrates with Together’s API, making it a good blueprint for building your own AI-powered developer tools. By focusing on small self-contained apps or components, it keeps scope manageable while still showcasing the power of code generation. Developers can fork the repo to plug in different models, change the UI, or integrate it into their own IDE-adjacent workflows.
