About Code Llama
Code Llama is a large language model (LLM) that can use text prompts to generate code. Code Llama is state-of-the-art for publicly available LLMs on code tasks, and has the potential to make workflows faster and more efficient for current 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 state-of-the-art LLM capable of generating code, and natural language about code, from both code and natural language prompts.
Code Llama is free for research and commercial use.
Code Llama is built on top of Llama 2 and is available in three models:
Code Llama, the foundational code model;
Codel Llama - Python specialized for Python;
and Code Llama - Instruct, which is fine-tuned for understanding natural language instructions.
