According to Cointelegraph: Meta AI has launched 'Code Llama,' a community-licensed artificial intelligence (AI) coding tool based on the Llama2 large language model (LLM) on August 24. The tool has been specifically trained for generating and discussing computer code and is available in several variants, including Code Llama Python and Code Llama Instruct. The former is fine-tuned for Python applications, while the latter is recommended for generating code and providing helpful and safe answers in natural language. Code Llama is available in 7-billion, 14-billion, and 34-billion parameter sizes, each with different functionality and hardware requirements. The tool is generally available under the same community license agreement as Llama2, allowing it to be used for personal or business use with proper attribution. This could benefit businesses and individuals in need of LLM models for coding purposes, such as fintech institutions, Web3 innovators, trading bot developers, and cryptocurrency exchanges. The free-to-use, community-licensed alternative based on Meta's Llama2 LLM could help level the playing field for blockchain and crypto projects with small development teams.
