no, it is basically an 'auto-correct' spell checker from the phone. It only knows what it was trained on. But it has been shown that a coding LLM that has never seen a programming language or a library can "learn" a new one faster than, say, a generic LLM.

That's not true, LLMs can answer questions in one language even if they were only trained on that data in another language.

IE you train an LLM on both English and French in general, but only teach it a specific fact in French, it can give you that fact in English

You, you can write a prompt in English, give it French, and get an accurate answer in English even with the original Mistral.

Still blows my mind we came so far so fast.
