Code Llama: Better than GitHub Copilot

Hi folks!👋🏻 This is The Prompt! Harvesting the best of AI, right from the vast fields of the internet to your inbox. As fresh as it gets.
Let's get it
FEATURED
Code Llama: An AI tool for coding, by Meta
A new win for open-sourced AI models.
Meta released a code-focused language model called Code Llama, which was created by further training Llama 2 on its code-specific datasets.
How does it work
It can generate code, and natural language about code, from both code and natural language prompts (e.g., “Write me a function that outputs the Fibonacci sequence.”)
It can also be used for code completion and debugging.
It supports many of the most popular languages being used today, including Python, C++, Java, PHP, Typescript (Javascript), C#, and Bash.
Performance
CodeLlama-python is better than GPT-3.5, but still trailing behind GPT-4.
However, it is significantly better than Codex, which is what GitHub copilot uses — and we know that one’s good.
Model sizes
The models are finetuned from Llama-2 base models and come in 3 options: vanilla, Instruct, and Python. Model sizes are 7B, 13B, 34B.
The smallest model can run locally with a decent GPU.

NEW TECH
FaceFusion: Swap faces in a photo or video
FaceFusion can switch any face on a photo or a video.
It is open-source, has a simple interface, and you can run it locally on your Macbook.
A bit scary how easy this has become, right?
🚨 What else is going on
OpenAI partners with Scale to offer enterprise-level fine-tuning of GPT3.5
Lex raised $2.75M for its AI writing tool. So AI wrappers are not in trouble I guess.
Google and Microsoft might be powering AI-generated adult content
Today is the 1-year anniversary of StabilityAI's Stable Diffusion 1.4 public release. See the difference for the same prompt "Poplars at sunset"
