New open source AI coding tool surpasses its inspiration: Google DeepMind’s AlphaCode
A new open source AI code generation tool, AlphaCodium, has surpassed DeepMind's AlphaCode, which had Twitter/X all aflutter this week.
The flow begins with inputs and then includes a series of pre-processing steps where AlphaCodium reflects on the problem and eventually reaches to a first code solution. According to CodiumAI, “This result is not just a numerical improvement; it’s a leap forward in the capabilities of LLMs in code generation, setting a new benchmark in the field.” Google DeepMind included aspects of flow engineering in their AlphaGo solution but not in AlphaCode, he said — “I don’t know why.” Perhaps, he suggested, it’s because the idea was not part of the mainstream narrative of simply needing a better large language model.
