In our rapidly evolving technological landscape, AI has emerged as a crucial catalyst for growth and innovation. Recently, Brandon Jung, Tabnine’s VP Ecosystem, conducted a webinar aimed at engineers and professionals interested in leveraging AI in their organizations.
Although AI assistants began with integrated development environments (IDE) code completion tools, they’re fast expanding beyond that, addressing a broader spectrum of developer needs. AI-driven tools can respond to intricate queries about documentation, refactoring, unit testing, and code explanation, directly within the developer’s workflow.
These capabilities signal a significant shift towards a more interactive, context-aware AI assistance that not only enhances productivity but also supports developers in creating superior code securely.
At its core, Tabnine remains committed to being developer-first, focusing on empowering creators with smart, trusted solutions that seamlessly integrate into their coding environment, ultimately catalyzing innovation and efficiency.
The landscape of the AI-assisted software development market is pretty simple.
There are two main competitors: Tabnine and GitHub Copilot.
Insights from the Stack Overflow survey and analyses by industry experts like Gartner and Forrester reveal that while the field may appear crowded, the true measure of market leadership boils down to developer adoption and usage.
Traditionally, AI’s role in the software development lifecycle was confined to the coding phase within the IDE. Tabnine, the first to offer AI code completion capabilities, now writes between 30%–40% of our users’ code. This makes developers about 20% more productive — a number that’s been checked and proven.
Fast forward to the present: We’ve entered the era of AI-assisted software development, which goes beyond coding. As Tabnine Chat and similar innovations broaden this scope, AI is aiding in building, testing, and shaping initial requirements, with predictions suggesting that testing will soon be predominantly AI-driven — a huge leap forward in quality assurance.
The future also hints at AI not only assisting but driving key development aspects, autonomously managing software life cycles. This evolution presents the promise and challenge of building trust with developers and users as we move toward a future where AI could make software development up to ten times faster, marking a transformative shift in technology creation and usage.
Three core components are crucial in generative AI:
Tabnine’s architecture is a sophisticated blend of local computing and cloud-based models, ensuring both speed and context-awareness for the developer.
Tabnine’s legacy in IDE plugin architecture extends back to its precursor, Codota, which offered Java completions. Transitioning from UI elements, the Tabnine Engine runs locally on the developer’s laptop, powered by a CPU inference engine, to provide instant, context-sensitive suggestions without the need to send data externally — thus maintaining data privacy.
The Tabnine server complements the local engine by housing larger models on powerful GPUs, which can be hosted in a SaaS environment or within a private data center. This dual structure offers tailored suggestions, from quick fixes to more in-depth advice in chat form, by leveraging multiple models simultaneously. The server’s infrastructure, supported by a global backbone across Amazon and Google platforms, ensures the delivery of the right suggestion at the right time. This intricate architecture exemplifies Tabnine’s commitment to a seamless, secure, and personalized coding experience.
The AI model ecosystem is defined by four main aspects: source openness, modality, size, and training data.
Closed-source models from major AI players tend to be large and multimodal, designed to drive platform computing, while open source models, preferred by Tabnine, are more modular and focused.
Larger models can also address more queries, but at a higher cost, which is why Tabnine uses efficient open source models optimized for specific tasks. Most importantly, the quality of a model’s output is as good as its training data, which is a cornerstone of Tabnine’s development philosophy, ensuring our AI solutions are both high-performing and trustworthy.
Brandon covered the topic of data within AI platforms, which is a trifecta of security, compliance, and customization.
Tabnine stands firm on the principle of never training on user code, thus ensuring data security. We guarantee that your code remains confidential, with deployment options that include complete isolation within managed virtual private clouds (VPC) or on-premises setups for those requiring stringent control.
On the compliance front, Tabnine commits to training models exclusively on permissively licensed open source code. This approach is the only way to ensure that the suggestions provided by the AI are compliant and free from proprietary or restricted code that could cause legal issues.
Customization is another area where Tabnine shines, adapting to a user’s unique coding style and preferences across various IDEs and version control systems (VCS). This flexibility allows Tabnine to support all knowledge management systems without locking users into a specific technology stack. This approach ensures that developers can maintain their preferred workflows while benefiting from Tabnine’s AI-powered insights, making the platform both versatile and user-centric.
The real ROI in software development is anchored in productivity gains. Studies by NTT, Accenture, and CIT have shown that Tabnine can increase productivity by an average of 17.5%, a significant uplift from just integrating a simple plugin into the IDE.
The introduction of Tabnine Chat, even in its early stages, has expanded the tool’s impact to more areas, with initial figures indicating a productivity boost of 58%. This is particularly evident in areas like testing, documentation, and understanding complex codebases, suggesting a potential to double developer productivity.
This trend is promising for tasks developers often find tedious, like writing unit tests. Tabnine not only improves efficiency but also transforms the user experience, as evidenced by customer feedback revealing new and unexpected use cases weekly. Tabnine Chat is becoming a tool that not only automates tasks but also helps developers better comprehend and work with their code, promising a continuous and exciting evolution of productivity enhancement.
During the Q&A part of the webinar, Brandon responded to several questions:
Does Tabnine include security detection fixes like CVEs vulnerability best practices?
While Tabnine can assist in improving security practices, it’s not designed to replace dedicated security tools. It’s important to continue using specialized tools for detecting CVEs and vulnerabilities. Tabnine complements but does not substitute these tools.
As you train Tabnine on good secure code, will it help write better secure code?
Yes, training on secure code will help Tabnine assist in writing more secure code. However, generative AI isn’t deterministic, so it should be used as an adjunct to traditional tools and processes, ensuring all code is reviewed and tested as rigorously as any other.
How do you convince developer colleagues to try AI assistance?
Tabnine’s unique appeal is that it doesn’t require team-wide adoption; individuals can use it independently. Senior developers, often skeptical, may find customized models more valuable as they help junior developers code in alignment with the team’s best practices, thereby reducing the review burden on senior team members.
Does Tabnine integrate with SQL IDEs and assist with database migrations and data warehousing?
Tabnine does support SQL and can integrate with certain SQL IDEs, although it may vary depending on the specific IDE in question. While it can aid with database migrations, it’s not a standalone solution and should be used in conjunction with expert oversight.
These responses underscore Tabnine’s role as a complementary tool in the developer’s arsenal, enhancing productivity without replacing the need for specialized software and expert review.

Large language models (LLMs) are machine learning models trained on vast amounts of text data. Their primary function is to predict the probability of a word given the preceding words in a sentence. This ability makes them powerful tools for various tasks, from creative writing, to answering questions about virtually any body of knowledge, and even generating code in various programming languages.
These models are “large” because they have many parameters – often in the billions. This size allows them to capture a broad range of information about language, including syntax, grammar, and some aspects of world knowledge.
The most well-known example of a large language model is GPT-3, developed by OpenAI, which has 175 billion parameters and was trained on hundreds of gigabytes of text. In April 2023, OpenAI released its next-generation LLM, GPT-4, considered the state of the art of the technology today. It is available to the public via ChatGPT, a popular online service.
Other LLMs widely used today are PaLM 2, developed by Google, which powers Google Bard, and Claude, developed by Anthropic. Both Google and Meta are developing their own next-generation LLMs, called Gemini and LLaMA, respectively.
Large language models are part of the broader field of natural language processing (NLP), which seeks to enable computers to understand, generate, and respond to human language in a meaningful and efficient way. As these models continue to improve and evolve, they are pushing the envelope of what artificial intelligence can do and how it impacts our lives and human society in general.
This is part of a series of articles about generative AI.
Let’s review the basic components of LLM architecture:
The embedding layer is the first stage in a large language model. Its job is to convert each word in the input into a high-dimensional vector. These vectors capture the semantic and syntactic properties of the words, allowing words with similar meanings to have similar vectors. This process enables the model to understand the relationships between different words and use this understanding to generate coherent and contextually appropriate responses.
Positional encoding is the process of adding information about the position of each word in the input sequence to the word embeddings. This is necessary because, unlike humans, machines don’t inherently understand the concept of order. By adding positional encoding, we can give the machine a sense of the order in which words appear, enabling it to understand the structure of the input text.
Positional encoding can be done in several ways. One common method is to add a sinusoidal function of different frequencies to the word embeddings. This results in unique positional encodings for each position, and also allows the model to generalize to sequences of different lengths.
Transformers are the core of the LLM architecture. They are responsible for processing the word embeddings, taking into account the positional encodings and the context of each word. Transformers consist of several layers, each containing a self-attention mechanism and a feed-forward neural network.
Source: ResearchGate
The self-attention mechanism allows the model to weigh the importance of each word in the input sequence when predicting the next word. This is done by calculating a score for each word based on its similarity to the other words in the sequence. The scores are then used to weight the contribution of each word to the prediction.
The feed-forward neural network is responsible for transforming the weighted word embeddings into a new representation that can be used to generate the output text. This transformation is done through a series of linear and non-linear operations, resulting in a representation that captures the complex relationships between words in the input sequence.
The final step in the LLM architecture is text generation. This is where the model takes the processed word embeddings and generates the output text. This is commonly done by applying a softmax function to the output of the transformers, resulting in a probability distribution over the possible output words. The model then selects the word with the highest probability as the output.
Text generation is a challenging process, as it requires the model to accurately capture the complex relationships between words in the input sequence. However, thanks to the transformer architecture and the careful preparation of the word embeddings and positional encodings, LLMs can generate remarkably accurate and lifelike text.
Large language models have a wide range of use cases. Their ability to understand and generate human-like text makes them incredibly versatile tools.
These models can generate human-like text on a variety of topics, making them excellent tools for creating articles, blog posts, and other forms of written content. They can also be used to generate advertising copy or to create persuasive marketing messages.
By training these models on large datasets of source code, they can learn to generate code snippets, suggest fixes for bugs, or even help to design new algorithms. This can greatly speed up the development process and help teams improve code quality and consistency.
These models can be used to power the conversational abilities of chatbots, allowing them to understand and respond to user queries in a natural, human-like way. This can greatly enhance the user experience and make these systems more useful and engaging.
Finally, large language models can be used for a variety of language translation and linguistic tasks. They can be used to translate text from one language to another, to summarize long documents, or to answer questions about a specific text. LLMs are used to power everything from machine translation services to automated customer support systems.
Here are the main types of large language models:
Autoregressive models are a powerful subset of LLMs. They predict future data points based on previous ones in a sequence. This sequential approach allows autoregressive models to generate language that is grammatically correct and contextually relevant. These models are often used in tasks that involve generating text, such as language translation or text summarization, and have proven to be highly effective.
Autoencoding models are designed to reconstruct their input data, making them ideal for tasks like anomaly detection or data compression. In the context of language models, they can learn an efficient representation of a language’s grammar and vocabulary, which can then be used to generate or interpret text.
Encoder-decoder models consist of two parts: an encoder that compresses the input data into a lower-dimensional representation, and a decoder that reconstructs the original data from this compressed representation. This architecture is especially useful in tasks like machine translation, where the input and output sequences may be of different lengths.
Bidirectional models consider both past and future data when making predictions. This two-way approach allows them to understand the context of a word or phrase within a sentence better than their unidirectional counterparts. Bidirectional models have been instrumental in advancing NLP research and have played a crucial role in the development of many LLMs.
Multimodal models can process and interpret multiple types of data – like text, images, and audio – simultaneously. This ability to understand and generate different forms of data makes them incredibly versatile and opens up a wide range of potential applications, from generating image captions to creating interactive AI systems.
Let’s look at specific examples of large language models used in the field.
The Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) models, developed by OpenAI, are a series of language prediction models leading the research on LLMs in recent years. GPT-3, released in 2020, has 175 billion machine learning parameters and can generate impressively coherent and contextually relevant text.
In December 2022, OpenAI released GPT-3.5, which uses reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to generate longer and more meaningful responses. This model was the basis for the first version of ChatGPT, which went viral and captured the public’s imagination about the potential of LLM technology.
In April 2023, GPT-4 was released. This is probably the most powerful LLM ever built, with significant improvements to quality and steerability (the ability to generate specific responses with more nuanced instructions. GPT-4 has a larger context window, can process conversations of up to 32,000 tokens, and has multi-modal capabilities, so it can receive both text and images as inputs.
Google’s PaLM (Pathways and Language Model) is another notable example of LLMs, and is the basis for the Google Bard service, an alternative to ChatGPT.
The original PaLM model was trained on a diverse range of internet text. However, unlike most other large language models, the PaLM model was also trained on structured data, including tables, lists, and other forms of structured data available on the internet. This gives it an edge in understanding and generating text that involves structured data.
Its latest version, PaLM 2, has 540 billion parameters. It achieves improved training efficiency, which is critical for such a large model, by updating the Transformer architecture to allow attention and feed-forward layers to be computed in parallel. PaLM 2 has significantly improved language understanding, language generation, and reasoning capabilities.
Anthropic Claud is another exciting example of a large language model. Developed by Anthropic, a research company co-founded by OpenAI alumni, Claud is designed to generate human-like text that is not only coherent but also emotionally and contextually aware.
Claud’s major innovation is that it offers a huge context window – it can process conversations of up to 100,000 tokens (around 75,000 words). This is the largest context window of any LLM to date, and opens new applications, such as providing entire books or very large documents and performing language tasks based on their entire contents.
Meta’s LLaMA 2 is a free-to-use large language model. With a parameter range from 7B to 70B, it provides a flexible architecture suitable for various applications. LLaMA 2 has been trained on 2 trillion tokens, which enables it to perform highly in reasoning, coding proficiency, and knowledge tests.
Notably, LLaMA 2 has a context length of 4096 tokens, double that of its predecessor, LLaMA 1. This increased context length allows for more accurate understanding and generation of text in longer conversations or documents. For fine-tuning, the model incorporates over 1 million human annotations, enhancing its performance in specialized tasks.
Two notable variants of LLaMA 2 are Llama Chat and Code Llama. Llama Chat has been fine-tuned specifically for conversational applications, utilizing publicly available instruction datasets and a wealth of human annotations. Code Llama is built for code generation tasks and supports a wide array of programming languages such as Python, C++, Java, PHP, Typescript, C#, and Bash.
