Official research release of CodeT5 and CodeT5+ open code large language models from Salesforce Research for code understanding and generation. It provides pretrained and fine-tuned checkpoints, training/evaluation code, and supports tasks like text-to-code generation, code autocompletion, and code summarization.

Use cases

• generate code from natural language descriptions
• autocomplete function bodies given a function name
• summarize code functions in plain English
• fine-tune a code LLM on my own dataset
• download pretrained code language model checkpoints
• research on code intelligence and program synthesis

When to choose

• you need open pretrained models for code generation or understanding tasks
• you want to fine-tune or benchmark code LLMs in research
• you need multilingual code summarization or completion models

When to avoid

• you want a production-ready commercial coding assistant with IDE integration out of the box
• you need the newest general-purpose code LLM rather than these specific research models
• you have no GPU or ML infrastructure to run large models
