CodeLlama 70B
Meta's code-specialised Llama variant for generation and infilling — no longer the current choice
Verdict
Superseded by DeepSeek Coder V3 and newer open code models. Meta has not shipped a direct successor, and the ecosystem has moved on. Fine for legacy fine-tunes already built on it; do not start new work here.
