So like, Qodo, this company that’s part of the whole NVIDIA Inception program, is totally changing the game when it comes to searching for code and making software better. They’re using fancy NVIDIA DGX technology to power their AI systems, making tasks like writing code, testing it, and reviewing it way easier and cooler, according to NVIDIA’s blog.
Qodo’s big idea is to use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that are all powered by this super advanced code embedding model. This model, trained on NVIDIA’s DGX platform, helps the AI understand and analyze code way better, so it can come up with better code suggestions, more reliable tests, and smarter reviews. Qodo believes that AI really needs to know what’s going on to make software better.
The company faces some challenges when it comes to dealing with massive codebases. They have this whole pipeline set up to keep everything updated and fresh. They have to grab files, split them up, and add descriptions to make sure the AI really gets what’s going on. It’s super important to break down big code files into smaller chunks so the AI doesn’t get confused and mess things up.
To fix these issues, Qodo uses specific analysis for different languages to make sure the code bits make sense. This way, the AI doesn’t get bogged down with useless info and can work better.
Qodo’s special embedding model is trained on coding languages and software docs to make sure it can find the right code and understand it well. This model helps the system find what it needs quickly and accurately when you ask it a question.
Compared to other models, Qodo’s embedding ones are smaller and spread out better across GPUs, so they train faster and use hardware better. Qodo is basically killing it with their models, leading the way in accuracy and stuff.
There was this cool project where NVIDIA and Qodo teamed up to make NVIDIA’s code searches better. By using Qodo’s tools, like the code indexer and RAG retriever, they were able to get way more accurate answers from queries based on those big language models.
This collab showed how awesome Qodo’s approach is, giving detailed responses and making code searches better overall.
So yeah, Qodo and NVIDIA are basically the dream team when it comes to making code better and searching for it faster. It’s like peanut butter and jelly, but for software.
