Meta seeks OpenAI's help to create AI coding assistant for its engineers

Meta has reportedly been in touch with Microsoft and OpenAI to develop an artificial intelligence coding assistant for its engineers. As per the 'Command Line' by The Verge's Alex Heath, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth recently told employees about the plan, saying the cost of building an AI coding engineer is "crazy" at about seven cents per query. "That's the only place in the company we're really considering working with Microsoft and OpenAI, just because there's a natural business integration there," he told employees. Microsoft has already infused around $10 billion in OpenAI which is behind the highly-successful generative AI chatbot called ChatGPT.
