Brave Search has unveiled a revolutionary addition, CodeLLM, aimed at elevating search results for programming-related inquiries, incorporating the capabilities of Mistral AI.
CodeLLM merges Brave’s search functionalities with the prowess of large language models (LLMs) to furnish programmers with pertinent code snippets, in-depth explanations, and references.
A Novel Coding Aid CodeLLM is meticulously crafted to aid programmers by furnishing AI-generated code snippets aligned with search results, accompanied by step-by-step elucidations and citations for verification.
Built on the robust foundation of Mistral, an advanced language model with the capability to generate code from text prompts, CodeLLM is automatically activated for programming queries by Brave. It deploys a widget above standard web search results, prompting CodeLLM to deliver an AI-generated response that condenses key information and supplies sample code grounded in the search findings.
Brave emphasizes CodeLLM’s distinctive capability to tap into the contextual power of a dedicated search engine in real-time, differentiating it from generalized language models. The company states, “As the models become more accessible and affordable to run, the value-add is the context we’re able to provide to them.”
Availability and Future Plans CodeLLM is now readily available for all Brave Search users on desktop and mobile platforms without necessitating adjustments or additional software downloads.
Brave expresses intentions to continuously enhance CodeLLM’s capabilities and aims to make its results accessible through the Brave Search API for integration into third-party applications in the imminent future.
Insights into Brave Search The introduction of CodeLLM follows two years after the inception of Brave Search as an independent alternative to dominant search engines like Google.
Brave asserts that its search engine prioritizes user privacy by avoiding user tracking and abstaining from collecting personal data.
Drawing from the Web Discovery Project (WDP), Brave’s search index encompasses over 20 billion high-quality pages, with 700 million pages indexed daily. According to the company’s data, Brave Search processes over 25 million queries daily.
