Replit democratizes open-source AI developer tools for all users

-

 


This week, Replit, a developer tooling vendor, has unveiled a set of initiatives aimed at democratizing AI for developers. Replit’s cloud-based software development platform boasts over 20 million users and has steadily been enhancing its generative AI capabilities in the past year. This enhancement includes the introduction of the GhostWriter AI code completion tool and a strategic partnership with Google. So far, access to GhostWriter has been limited to a select group of Replit users, but that’s about to change.

Replit’s open source coding LLM is positioned as a competitive alternative to StarCoder LLM, jointly developed by ServiceNow and Hugging Face, as well as Meta’s Llama CodeLlama 7B.


Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit, emphasized their mission of providing accessibility during a live-streamed session at the AI Engineer Summit. He stated, “Our mission is to empower the next billion developers, and we didn’t want to create a world where some people have access to GhostWriter while others don’t.”


With this integration, Replit is shedding the GhostWriter name entirely and instead establishing AI as a core feature available to all users. According to Masad, Replit has users worldwide coding on various devices, including laptops and mobile phones. Now, all of these users can become AI-enhanced developers.


Masad believes that this deployment of AI-enhanced coding will be one of the largest in the world. He anticipates significant demands on both GPU and CPU resources.
