Google has announced a collaboration with the platform Stack Overflow, dedicated to exchanging questions and answers among programmers, to provide the programming knowledge base content on Stack Overflow through the artificial intelligence chatbot interface named Gemini.
Stack Overflow introduces a new program that allows AI companies to access its expertise in programming through a new API called OverflowAPI.
The tech giant leverages Stack Overflow information to enhance and develop Gemini, as well as to display Stack Overflow responses through the chatbot.
Simultaneously, Stack Overflow collaborates with Google to add more features that enhance the use of artificial intelligence on the site.
Stack Overflow operates a prominent forum for developers with over 100 million users, according to statistics recorded in June 2021.
Content-based services like Stack Overflow aim to ensure financial gains when using large-scale linguistic models for the provided information.
Through their recent partnership with Google, the Stack Overflow platform offers coding guidance and diverse tech information through its forums via the chatbot Gemini.
The chatbot allows programmers to search for technical data using natural language commands and includes citations in the answers for users to refer back to for accuracy.
The new OverflowAPI interface provides AI developers with access to over 58 million queries and answers on programming topics.
Stack Overflow plans to make their API interface, known as OverflowAPI, available to different institutions through a subscription-based system.
Stack Overflow states that their API interface plays a role in enhancing the programming skills of large-scale linguistic models.
Stack Overflow mentioned they used a dataset in an internal experiment, integrating it with a massive linguistic model owned by Meta, named Llama 2, containing 34 billion variables.
Stack Overflow claims the project resulted in a twenty percent increase in programming questions that the proposed model can answer.
Google stated, “This collaboration combines advanced AI technologies with the rich and beloved developer platform, enhancing developers’ ability to effectively employ AI within their preferred environments. It integrates the comprehensive expertise of the Stack Overflow community with advanced AI capabilities.”
Stack Overflow utilizes cloud-based AI services provided by the tech giant to support a range of new functions designed to enhance content organization and user information exchange.
OverflowAI, a machine learning project launched by Stack Overflow in July of last year, strengthens these capabilities.
