**How It Works**

This repository serves as a curated collection of Large Language Models (LLMs) specifically designed for Software Engineering (SE) tasks. It aims to provide a centralized and actively updated resource for researchers and practitioners exploring the intersection of LLMs and SE. The collection is maintained through an internal literature search engine, ensuring that the listed models and papers reflect the latest advancements in the field. The primary benefit is offering a comprehensive overview and access point to a rapidly evolving landscape of LLMs tailored for code-related applications, from code generation and completion to bug detection and program repair.

Quick Start & Requirements

This repository functions as a curated list and does not have a direct installation or execution command. Users are expected to navigate to the individual model repositories or paper links for specific requirements, installation, and usage instructions. The collection itself requires no specific software to access, but individual LLM models will have their own dependencies (e.g., Python, specific libraries, hardware requirements like GPUs).
