CodeGeeX: A Multilingual Code Generation Assistant for Major IDE Tools

General Introduction

CodeGeeX is a big model-based intelligent programming assistant, which aims to help developers significantly improve programming efficiency through automatic code generation, code completion, code translation and intelligent Q&A. The tool supports more than 20 programming languages and is adapted to a variety of mainstream IDEs, such as VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, and PyCharm, etc. CodeGeeX, jointly developed by Tsinghua University's Knowledge Engineering Laboratory and Wisdom Spectrum AI, employs a pre-trained model for multi-language code generation with 13 billion parameters, and is capable of generating code based on natural language descriptions or completing subsequent code according to the existing code. existing code to complement the subsequent code. Its open API and plug-in support make it a powerful assistant for developers.

Function List

• Code Generation and Completion: Generate subsequent code based on natural language descriptions or existing code.
• code translation: Supports code translation between multiple programming languages.
• Automatically add comments: Automatically generate comments based on the content of the code.
• intelligent question and answer (Q&A): When you encounter problems during development, you can ask the AI questions directly.
• Multi-language support: Support for Python, C++, Java, JavaScript, Go and other programming languages.
• Plug-in Support: Adaptation of VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm and other mainstream IDE.
• Open API: Provide API interface to support personalization.

Detailed Operation Procedure

1. Code Generation and Completion::
   • In VS Code, open a Python file.
   • Type "# Calculate the sum of two numbers" and press Ctrl+Enter.
   • CodeGeeX automatically generates the appropriate Python code, for example:

    def add(a, b): return a + b
   return a + b
   

2. code translation::
   • In IntelliJ IDEA, open a Java file.
   • Check the following code:

    public int add(int a, int b) {
   return a + b; }
   }
   

   • Right click on "CodeGeeX Translator" and select "Python".
   • CodeGeeX automatically translates to Python code, for example:

    def add(a, b): return a + b
   return a + b
   

3. Automatically add comments::
   • In PyCharm, open a Python file.
   • Check the following code:

    def add(a, b): return a + b
   return a + b
   

   • Right click and select "CodeGeeX Add Comment".
   • CodeGeeX automatically generates annotations such as:

    def add(a, b).
   # Calculate the sum of two numbers
   return a + b
   

4. intelligent question and answer (Q&A)::
   • In VS Code, type "How do I read the contents of a file in Python?" .
   • Press Ctrl+Shift+Q and CodeGeeX will provide the answer, for example: python
with open('filename.txt', 'r') as file.
content = file.read()
