Brave added its freshly constructed CodeLLM to its search engine for programming inquiries today. The new AI-powered CodeLLM gives code snippets with step-by-step explanations and citations. CodeLLM is free and incorporated into Brave Search, so users don’t need to switch applications.
All Brave Search desktop and mobile users may utilize CodeLLM. You may reach CodeLLM by searching in your browser’s address bar if Brave Search is your default search engine. If Brave Search isn’t your default search engine, visit search.brave.com.
“CodeLLM automatically detects programming-related queries, so there’s no need to generate a special search,” Brave blogged. “ A widget will trigger the CodeLLM response on top of search results if an answer is possible. Other search components (such as those that detect weather, summarizeables, stock prices, and other searches) detect programming queries outside of the LLM.
Brave claims CodeLLM is based on Mixtral, a text-prompted LLM.
This news comes two months after Brave launched Leo, an AI-powered assistant, for desktop users. Leo, built on Llama 2 and Anthropic’s Claude LLMs, can summarize websites, films, translate text, and rewrite sentences. Brave has released a $15-a-month assistant with premium capabilities, including quicker and better large language models (LLMs) and greater rate restrictions.
Brave Search, started two years ago, now handles 25 million requests daily. Brave claims that many of its 60 million users use Brave Search as their preferred search engine.
