Meta releases ‘Code Llama 70B’, an open-source behemoth to rival private AI development


Code Llama 70B is a new and improved version of Meta AI’s code generation model that can write code in various programming languages from natural language prompts or existing code snippets.

This variant scored 67.8 on HumanEval, a benchmark dataset of 164 programming problems that test the functional correctness and logic of code generation models. Mark Zuckerberg, the chief of Meta AI, said in a statement posted to his Facebook account: “We’re open sourcing a new and improved Code Llama, including a larger 70B parameter model. It can also lower the barrier to entry for people who want to learn coding, as it can provide guidance and feedback based on natural language instructions.
