Anthropic
7.8

LLaMA remains a strong open-source foundation model widely adopted for coding, with excellent accessibility and fine-tuning friendly design, though newer proprietary models and specialized coding tools have gained competitive edge in raw performance and user experience.

OpenAI
7.1

LLaMA is a highly influential open-weight model family with broad developer adoption and strong coding usefulness, but for coding it is usually a foundation model rather than a top out-of-the-box code assistant, so it lands as solid but not category-leading.

Gemini
8.8

LLaMA, particularly its LLaMA 3/3.1 iterations, is a leading open-source model widely adopted for its strong coding capabilities, accessibility across diverse hardware, and extensive fine-tuning potential, making it a top alternative to proprietary leaders.

Grok
7.8

LLaMA remains a top open-weight foundation with competitive coding performance via fine-tunes, but trails integrated leaders like Copilot and Claude in seamless developer adoption and benchmarks as of 2026.
