Yet, despite growing demand from the public and responsible AI advocates for approaches that draw in broader, more diverse communities to the AI decision-making process, product teams often struggle to move from theory to practice when engaging…

Over the past two years Qt has been working to embrace generative AI for enhanced coding capabilities within Qt Creator for Qt/QML/C++ applications. It started with GitHub Copilot integration and has been continuing well beyond that and today marks the debut of the Qt AI Assistant v0.9. The Qt AI Assistant v0.9 release is designed to provide the latest AI-driven coding help for constructing Qt/C++ software. There is now local LLM support with this Qt AI Assistant via the CodeLlama-7B-QML and DeepSeekCoder v2 Lite language model support. Qt also has published CodeLlama-7B-QML and CodeLlama-13B-QML as their fine-tuned models on HuggingFace and…
