Ask HN: AI tools for explaining/annotating codebases?

2 pointsby jannesanover 1 year ago
I haven&#x27;t followed the space with too much effort, currently I am only making use of ChatGPT to explain code snippets or ask questions about the Linux kernel source.<p>But by now, I bet there is already some better solution out there specific for the task of explaining large codebases, would love to hear what everyone here has tried out.<p>I do not understand the limits of LLMs, is it possible to have a model interpret a codebase it has not been trained on? How would one provide the source to it?
