Description:
Currently under testing, the new AI coding assistance tool might just make programming accessible to everyone.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Artificial intelligence ( AI ) research company OpenAI has released an improved version of its machine learning ( ML ) system that essentially translates the English language into code.

Named Codex , reports suggest that the system is designed to not just be of use to trained full-time programmers, but will also be of assistance to amateur coders.

Codex can now interpret simple commands in natural language and execute them on the users behalfmaking it possible to build a natural language interface
to existing applications, says OpenAI in a blog post as it launched a private beta. Heres our roundup of the best laptops for programming Get started with programming with these best Python courses Take a look at out collection of the best HTML courses

Codex is a descented of GPT-3, the third generation of OpenAIs Generative Pre-trained Transformer, which was conceptualized to perform natural language processing ( NLP ) tasks. Not quite there yet

According to OpenAI, Codex is trained on several billion lines of public
code. The system is reportedly proficient enough to adapt to an individual developers coding style.

Notably, Codex powers GitHub Copilot , a new tool launched in June and currently under preview that assists programmers by making relevant suggestions as they write code inside development environments like
Microsofts Visual Studio Code .

Now OpenAI is inviting developers to build on top of Codex through its API, adding that while the system works best with Python , it is also proficient
in over a dozen other languages including JavaScript , Go, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Swift, TypeScript, Shell, and more. During this initial period, OpenAI Codex will be offered for free.

However, citing a recent paper published by OpenAI itself, VentureBeat
reports that despite being highly capable the system has significant limitations, including biases and sample inefficiencies. According to the papers authors, Codex can sometimes propose code thats syntactically incorrect, and can even call on undefined variables. Weve also collated the best JavaScript courses
