What it does

CodeGen is a set of AI models from Salesforce AI Research that generate computer code, a task called program synthesis. There are several generations and sizes, and later versions can fill in missing code in the middle of a file.

The models are available on Hugging Face for programmers to download. Salesforce says the release is for research only and asks users to check accuracy, safety and fairness before using it in real products.
