At the Cloud Next event, Google unveiled Gemini Code Assist, an artificial intelligence-based system designed to aid in code writing through line completion.
Enhanced Code Assistance:
Previously, Google offered similar capabilities under the Duet AI brand. However, Code Assist marks a significant upgrade and rebranding effort.
Code Assist competes directly with GitHub Copilot Enterprise, offering enhanced features such as a context window of a million tokens. This enables higher accuracy in code suggestions and the ability to analyze and modify large code fragments.
Moreover, Code Assist can be tailored to a company’s internal code base, a feature currently in preview. It also facilitates code management across multiple repositories and platforms, a unique offering compared to competitors.
Innovations in Cloud Development:
In addition to Code Assist, Google introduced CodeGemma, an open model for code generation and editing, available on the Vertex AI cloud platform. They also unveiled Gemini Cloud Assist, a tool aimed at aiding cloud teams throughout the application lifecycle.
Cloud Assist offers features such as architecture configuration generation, problem diagnosis, and resource optimization to reduce costs and increase productivity. It can be accessed via a chat interface or integrated into other Google Cloud products, adds NIXsolutions.
As Google continues to innovate in both coding assistance and cloud development tools, we’ll keep you updated on the latest advancements.
