  CodeT5 and CodeT5+ are open-source large language models from Salesforce Research, designed for **Code Understanding and Generation**. These models can be deployed as AI-powered coding assistants to boost developer productivity, offering capabilities like text-to-code generation, code autocompletion, and code summarization.

  ## Getting Started
  
  To quickly integrate CodeT5+ models into your projects, you can leverage our checkpoints available on HuggingFace. Here's a basic example to get you started with inference:
  
  ```python
  # [Example code snippet for loading and using a CodeT5 model, e.g., with transformers library]
  ```
  
  For more detailed usage and fine-tuning instructions, please refer to the `code` directory and our documentation.

  Add a 'Comparison with Alternatives' section to the README

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  ## Comparison with Alternatives
  
  CodeT5's core differentiator lies in its **identifier-aware pre-training objective**. Unlike many general-purpose code LLMs, CodeT5 explicitly models the roles and relationships of identifiers (variable names, function names) within the code structure. This allows for a deeper understanding and more accurate generation of code, leading to improved performance in tasks such as code summarization, generation, and completion compared to models that treat code as plain text sequences.
