Meta Platforms Inc. launched a new artificial intelligence coding tool in the social media company’s latest bid to compete with Microsoft Corp.-backed OpenAI and Alphabet Inc.’s Google.

The tool introduced Thursday, called Code Llama, uses generative AI to help developers work faster by suggesting lines of software code. The model is open source and available for commercial use, which means other companies will be able to use the tech to build their own tools, Meta said in a blog post.
