CodeLlama Instruct
MetaCode-specialized instruction-tuned Llama 2 family at 7B, 13B, 34B and 70B, trained on more than 500 billion tokens of code and fine-tuned for coding chat. It was among the first open coding-instruct models and is still used as a baseline across all four sizes.
Scored on the 13B Instruct release as representative. Trained during 2023 and superseded by later coder families; the model card inlines no benchmark numbers, so capability rests on the paper. Verified 2026-08-13 via the model card and the arXiv abstract.

Weights are downloadable under Meta's Llama 2 Community License, which is not OSI-approved. The model is marketed as open, which this scale deliberately does not take at face value. A license that bounds commercial use rather than forbidding it caps at 3 rather than 2: the test at that boundary is whether commercial use is permitted at all, and this one permits it for everyone inside the bound, where a license that forbids commerce outright - CC-BY-NC, Mistral's Non-Production License - stays at 2. Nine other products carry a bounded license and all score 3.

Adoption
3 medium confidenceThe four Code Llama Instruct SKUs the tier covers sum to 110,069 Hugging Face downloads in the trailing 30 days (CodeLlama-34b-Instruct-hf 24,545; CodeLlama-7b-Instruct-hf 73,688; CodeLlama-13b-Instruct-hf 11,336; CodeLlama-70b-Instruct-hf 500), which bands at level 3 (100K-1M). All four repositories are declared on this product, and adoption is summed across the releases a tier covers.

Capability
3 medium confidenceA 2023-generation code model, state of the art among open models at release and well below the 2026 coders in this category. Table 2 of the Code Llama paper puts Code Llama - Instruct 13B at 42.7% HumanEval pass@1 and 49.4% MBPP pass@1; 70B-Instruct is higher at 67.8% but 34B-Instruct is lower at 41.5%, so the family is not monotonic in size. The HF card itself carries no benchmark table and the arXiv abstract carries only the family headline.
