Stability AI and Google target software developers with latest generative AI tools

Stability AI Ltd. and Google Cloud are stepping up their efforts to automate the business of writing code with the launch of new generative artificial intelligence tools aimed at developers.

While Stability AI is taking its first stab at code generation with its latest generative AI model, Google has introduced a web-based development environment that aims to make life easier for developers building multiplatform applications.

Stability AI said the open-source StableCode is a large language model that’s designed to help developers generate code, and is being made available in three versions — a basic model for general use cases, an instruction model and a long-context-window model that supports up to 16,000 tokens for more advanced programming.
