Meta ships Code Llama, a version of Llama 2 trained specifically to write and understand code. Three sizes (7, 13, 34 billion parameters) and three variants: base, Python-specific, and an "instruct" one that understands natural-language commands.

It's the first serious open-source alternative to Codex / GPT-4 for coding: runs locally (even on a good consumer GPU), supports Copilot-style autocomplete, ships with a permissive commercial license.

For anyone wanting a self-hosted Copilot, there's finally a solid foundation.
