<p>Meta Platforms is planning to launch software for automatic code generation, presenting competition to proprietary solutions from OpenAI, Google, and other companies. The code-writing software, named Code Llama, will be released as open source and may appear as soon as next week. The new code generation model will compete with OpenAI's Codex model and is based on Meta's Llama 2 program—a large language model capable of understanding and generating conversational text.</p>
<p>The fact that Code Llama will be open source creates great prospects for the development of other products by other companies.</p>
