Brave Search Can Now Deliver Results For Programming Queries (techcrunch.com) 4
Brave has introduced CodeLLM, an AI-powered tool integrated into its search engine that offers results for programming queries. TechCrunch reports: The new AI-powered CodeLLM provides code snippets with step-by-step explanations and citations. CodeLLM is free and now integrated into Brave Search so users don't have to switch apps to access it. CodeLLM is available to all Brave Search users on desktop and mobile. If Brave Search is your default search engine then all you need to do to access CodeLLM is start a search in your browser's address bar. If Brave Search isn't your default search engine, then you need to head to search.brave.com to conduct your search. "CodeLLM automatically detects programming-related queries, so there's no need to generate a special search," Brave explained in the blog post. "On top of the search results, if an answer is possible there will be a widget to trigger the CodeLLM response. The detection of programming queries happens outside of the LLM, by other search components (similar to the ones able to detect queries about the weather, queries that lend themselves well to be summarized, queries about stock prices, etc)."

I tried various other C# related question and never got any code snippets. I then explicitly asked "Xxx code snippet for string handling", replacing Xxx with C#, JavaScript , Python, C++, Java, etc. I got only code snippets for C++ and Java.
When searching for "C++ code for password protection" there was "AI assistance", which basically showed a summary o

Gave me the link to a not-quite matching Wikipedia page for a somewhat advanced query. This is a tool for the incompetent only.
