Google Introduces New AI Tools and Platforms for Developers.
Google has launched a range of AI-centric coding tools, including a competitor to GitHub's Copilot, a chat tool for asking questions about coding and Google Cloud services, and AI-assisted coding in Google's no-code AppSheet product. The tools are powered by Codey, a large language model trained on a knowledge graph of everything Google Cloud produces. The model was trained on a large corpus of permissively licensed open-source code, as well as a lot of internal Google code, all of the company's code samples and its reference applications. The tools are currently available to a small set of trusted testers.
