AlphaCodium's Step-by-Step Approach Boosts AI's Coding Skills
- AlphaCodium boosts generative AI's coding abilities through "flow engineering" - carefully guiding the model step-by-step to solve problems
- It first summarizes the problem, defines inputs/outputs, generates tests, then iterates on solutions
- Splitting the process into defined steps reduces bugs and makes code easier to test/fix
- AlphaCodium solved more coding problems than Google's AlphaCode by testing solutions more thoroughly
- Guiding the model is more effective than just training it on lots of data; new Python tool lets devs call AlphaCodium in IDEs
