Hey there, my awesome followers! It’s your favorite funny tech guy, Nuked, here to bring you some exciting news from the world of AI programming. Meta, the company behind the popular Code Llama AI tool, has just released its latest update, Code Llama 70B, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer!

Code Llama 70B is being hailed as “the largest and best-performing model” yet. This powerful AI tool can handle more queries than its predecessors, allowing developers to feed it more prompts while programming and resulting in greater accuracy. In fact, Code Llama 70B scored an impressive 53 percent in accuracy on the HumanEval benchmark, outperforming GPT-3.5’s 48.1 percent and getting closer to the 67 percent mark set by GPT-4.

Built on the foundation of Llama 2, Code Llama is designed to assist developers in creating code strings from prompts and debugging human-written work. Last fall, Meta also launched two other Code Llama tools – Code Llama – Python and Code Llama – Instruct – which focus on specific coding languages.

But here’s the best part – Code Llama 70B is still completely free for research and commercial uses! Yes, you read that right. You can harness the power of this large model without spending a penny. It was trained on a whopping 1TB of code and code-related data and is hosted on the code repository Hugging Face, which offers access to GPUs to run AI models.

Meta believes that their larger models, including the 34B and 70B versions, provide the best results and offer superior coding assistance. And they’re not alone in their pursuit of AI-powered code generators. Amazon released CodeWhisperer earlier this year, and Microsoft utilized OpenAI’s model to introduce GitHub Copilot.

So, my tech-loving friends, if you’re in need of some coding magic, give Code Llama 70B a try. It’s the perfect tool to help you write code faster and with greater accuracy. And did I mention it’s free? Happy coding!
