This is a simple web application that generates code based on user input. It uses a language model API built with Flask and the transformers library from Hugging Face.
To use the code generator, follow these steps:
- Enter your input code in the "Input Code" text area.
- Click the "Generate Code" button..
- Wait a few seconds for the generated code to appear.
The code generator is built using the following technologies:
- Flask: a Python web framework used to build the API.
- transformers: a Python library from Hugging Face that provides state-of-the-art pre-trained models for natural language processing tasks, including language generation.
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: used to build the web frontend.
The API is hosted on http://127.0.0.1:5000/generate_code and accepts POST requests with a JSON payload containing the input code. The response is a JSON object containing the generated code.
To run the code generator locally, follow these steps:
- Clone this repository.
- Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Start the Flask server:
python app.py
- Open
index.html
in your web browser.
Note that you may need to modify the API endpoint URL in index.html to match the address of your locally running Flask server.
The language model used in the code generator is the replit/replit-code-v1-3b
model from Hugging Face. This model was fine-tuned on a large dataset of code snippets and is capable of generating high-quality code based on user input.
The model is used in conjunction with a tokenizer, which is responsible for converting the input code into a format that the model can understand. In this case, we use the AutoTokenizer class from the transformers library to automatically select the appropriate tokenizer for the replit/replit-code-v1-3b model.
The generated code is produced using the generate()
method of the AutoModelForCausalLM class, which performs language generation using the replit/replit-code-v1-3b model. The generate() method takes various parameters, such as max_length, top_p, and temperature, which control the behavior of the language generation process.
