The parent company of Facebook, Meta, announced on Thursday that it would publish an artificial intelligence (AI) model to help with coding, stepping up its investment in the emerging field.

The business open-sourced Code Llama, a machine learning system that can generate and explain code in natural language, particularly English, after the release of AI models for producing text, translating languages, and creating audio.

The social media juggernaut stated in a blog post that Code Llama, which will be free, can produce code based on human text prompts and can also be used for code completion and debugging.

Code Llama is an open-source AI-powered code generator similar to GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer that can complete and debug existing code in a variety of programming languages, including Python, C++, Java, PHP, Typescript, C#, and Bash, according to TechCrunch.

“At Meta, we believe that AI models, but large language models for coding in particular, benefit most from an open approach, both in terms of innovation and safety,” the company noted in a blog post. “The creation of new technologies that enhance people’s lives can be facilitated by publicly accessible, code-specific models. By making available code models like Code Llama, the community as a whole may assess its capabilities, spot problems, and patch vulnerabilities.
