Anthropic

6.2

Code Llama remains a solid open-source option with good multi-language support and multiple model sizes, but faces intensifying competition from Claude, GPT-4, and newer specialized models; adoption plateaued as proprietary tools pulled ahead on coding benchmarks.

OpenAI

6.8

Code Llama was an important early open code model with useful generation and infilling, but by 2026 it is clearly behind leading hosted and open competitors in quality, instruction following, and ecosystem adoption, making it solid but no longer top-tier.

Gemini

8.4

Code Llama is a leading open-source LLM for code generation, offering robust multi-language capabilities and self-hosting options, making it a strong and widely adopted alternative to proprietary tools.

Grok

5.2

By 2026 Code Llama is an older 2023 model largely superseded by Llama 3/4 derivatives, DeepSeek-Coder, and closed models powering Copilot/Claude, making it dated for most users.
