The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Code Llama: Open Foundation Models for Code](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/roziere-2024-code-llama-open-foundation-models/)** *(2024 · 1,399 citations)* General-purpose LLMs often fall short on programming tasks, and in 2023 strong open-weight code models were scarce.
2. **[Shepherd: A Critic for Language Model Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2023-shepherd-critic-language-model-generation/)** *(2023 · 59 citations)* Shepherd tackles the problem of automatically critiquing text produced by large language models, which still often generate false or incoherent answers.
