Codegen LLMs

One GenAI feature making headlines is coding. GenAI apps are getting better with reading and writing code (codegen) in various programming languages such as Python, Java, C++ and so on.

On the evaluation side there are all kinds of benchmarks and leaderboards that track progress on codegen. Additionally, aspects of usability, platform support, IDE integration, etc are all key factors for using codegen.

In terms of local evaluations, Ollama provides handy options. With Ollama it's easy to download and run LLMs from various providers (Llama, Gemma, etc). Most now support codegen and readily follow instructions in a chat to churn out basic level Python code:

  •  Llama3.2
  • Gemma3
  • Codegemma 
  • Falcon3
  • Starcoder
