- Meta AI has introduced 'Code Llama,' an AI coding tool based on the Llama2 large language model (LLM).

- Code Llama is designed to generate and discuss computer code and comes in two versions: Code #Llama Python and Code Llama Instruct.

- Code Llama #Python is optimized for Python applications, while Code Llama Instruct generates code and provides safe answers using natural language.

- It is #available in three parameter sizes: 7-billion, 14-billion, and 34-billion, each with varying functionality and hardware requirements.

- Code Llama is accessible under the same community license agreement as Llama2, permitting personal and business use with proper attribution.

- The tool can be advantageous for businesses and individuals in coding-related fields, including fintech, Web3, trading bots, and cryptocurrency exchanges.

- Being a free-to-use #community-licensed option, Code Llama can level the playing field for smaller development teams in #blockchain and crypto projects.
