CodeGeeX

CodeGeeX is a Hugging Face Space called developed by THUDM. This space offers a comprehensive AI coding assistant named “Ask CodeGeeX,” which uses natural language processing to help developers solve programming problems. The assistant supports multiple programming languages and provides features like context completion, cross-file completion, and real-time assistance. The space supports both Chinese and English prompts, making it accessible to a wider audience. This tool aims to increase developer efficiency by providing intelligent assistance during the coding process.

⚡Top 5 CodeGeeX Features:

1. More Powerful Coding Capabilities: CodeGeeX2-6B has been pre-trained on 600B code tokens, resulting in significant improvements in coding capabilities across multiple programming languages compared to the first-generation.
2. More Useful Features: CodeGeeX2-6B supports both Chinese and English prompts, offers a maximum sequence length of 8192, and boasts improved inference speeds. Additionally, after quantization, it requires only 6GB of GPU memory for inference, enabling lightweight local deployment.
3. Comprehensive AI Coding Assistant: The plugin (for VS Code and Jetbrains) supports over 100 programming languages and includes practical functions like infilling and cross-file completion. When combined with the interactive AI coding assistant, it can help developers solve various programming problems via Chinese or English dialogue.
4. Open License: CodeGeeX2-6B weights are freely available for academic research, while commercial use requires filling out a registration form.
5. Software Dependencies: To get started you need to install protobuf, transformers, cpm_kernels, torch, gradio, and mdtex2html.
