Google's AI-powered Colab introduces Codey for code generation.

Google Colab is adding Codey, a family of code models built on PaLM 2, to its platform. Codey is fine-tuned on a large dataset of high-quality, permissively licensed code from external sources to improve performance on coding tasks. Users can generate code, including whole functions, by entering natural language text prompts. A Colab AI chatbot is also accessible to answer questions. Codey is rolling out first to paid US subscribers and will be expanded to the free tier and other countries.
