I’ll ask a dumb question. On another of the numerous LLM related posts I was asking if any of the self host-able open model can do code summaries at close to the quality of GPT 3.5 turbo. I was basically told nowhere close yet.

Can this potentially do that?

Ideally I’d like to have it generate descriptions of large amounts of code but would rather not burn tokens and lose privacy via OpenAI api. But I’d gladly keep a high end GPU burning on such task , even if that was actually slightly more expensive.

Edit: To clarify I do this partially now on batches of code via openAI api currently. It’s around 1-3 cents for a typical 400-800 line source code file. And I don’t mean feeding the full code base in as a single input.
