New Delhi: Meta (formerly Facebook) is reportedly in touch with Microsoft and OpenAI to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) coding assistant for its engineers.
According to βCommand Lineβ by The Vergeβs Alex Heath, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth recently told employees about the plan, saying the cost for building an AI coding engineer is βcrazyβ at about seven cents per query.
βThatβs the only place in the company weβre really considering working with Microsoft and OpenAI, just because thereβs a natural business integration there,β he told employees.
He revealed that the company is also working on a βcompanion that is more about all of our code and our internal documentation, built on our own infrastructureβ.
βWe are moving very fast. I think weβll have something to play with internally, Iβm hoping in mid-June, maybe late June,β Bosworth said.
According to reports, OpenAI has received $300 million from VCs at a valuation of $27-$29 billion.
VC firms, including Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive and K2 Global picking up new shares, according to documents seen by TechCrunch.
