It seems that there's a rising popularity for AI coding assistants with projects such as DeepMind's AlphaCode and GitHub's CoPilot. Writing code can be a tedious process, so it's no surprise that techies would want to find a way to use code to automate code writing. And of course, there's no way a company like Amazon would let this evolve without entering themselves into the race.
Amazon's decided it's time to show off CodeWhisperer, their own solution for AI-driven automated code generation. This offering works like all the rest - you write some code and it automatically writes the rest of the block as per your intention. CodeWhisperer was trained and will continue to be trained on billions of lines of code from open-source and Amazon-internal repos, as well as documentation and forums.
Where can I get CodeWhisperer?
CodeWhisperer is currently in preview, which means you'll have to sign up for the waitlist. Thankfully there are no usage restrictions or expectations you need to fill to be able to sign up, as since this is a service and not a ML model for researchers, everything is handled and monitored by AWS like all their services.
You can sign up for access with this link: https://pages.awscloud.com/codewhisperer-sign-up-form.html
CodeWhisperer supports Python, Java, and Javascript, and is available within a number of common IDEs through the AWS IDE Toolkit.
