Since its origin in 2017, Google Colab has positioned itself as Google’s browser platform for programming and running python. This has led to more than seven million users around the world using it to access computing resources for free, without the need to install external software. Now incorporate artificial intelligence features driven by the Palm 2 programming language.
Google Colab is used for machine learning, data analysis, and education, so by incorporating new AI coding capabilities such as code completion, natural language for code generation, and a code assistance chatbotwill become an efficient and unstoppable tool in the sector.
The technology company knows that incorporating Codey into Google Colab will achieve improve both performance and productivity in programming tasks. Codey drew on a huge set of high-quality licensed data from external sources, customizing its versions for Python and specific Colab uses.
With Codey, Colab users will be able to access a programming assistant that is in charge of completing and generating the code in natural language. In addition to write large blocks of codeusers get a tool that allows them to write complete functions from comments and prompts. This allows developers to streamline their programming and data science capabilities and not focus on repetitive tasks.
Behind Codey stands Palm 2which is the language model that Google presented in the last edition of its annual Google I/O 2023 developer event, which improves logic and reasoning by training in countless scientific and mathematical topics, as well as in more than a hundred languages.
The differential character of Codey
You have to remember that Codey uses deep learning algorithms to analyze and understand existing code so that you can recommend efficient code structures and patterns to developers. In the same way, you can work independently, so they can speed up the programming process, improve code quality and create more advanced and efficient software.
As a programming-focused generative AI model, Codey is a revolution. Until now, Google’s generative AI tools were powered by LaMDA or PaLM, but now it goes a step further. These extensive language models (LLMs) fail to reach the capabilities of Codey, which is a great help to developers. Codey is available on your preview on Google Cloudalthough it has the ability to be trained on its own code base.
To this is added ‘Duet AI for Google Cloud’an AI expert pair programmer who is inspired by GitHub Copilot and Amazon Code Whisperer. In addition, autocompletion and function generation features aid code review and inspection.
Access to Codey will be gradual, because first it will be available in its paid version and later for free. Similarly, it will be released for users in the United States, who will be able to enjoy its functionalities from anywhere and will expand to other geographical areas. All Colab users will see a new ‘Generate’ button to enter any text message and from there produce code.
Google Colab incorporates a chatbot that will allow ask questions about the job being scheduled and get answers in natural language. Thus, you may be asked about aspects such as the keys to import Google Sheets or how to filter a Pandas DataFrame.
