 Make programming quantum computers even easier with Qiskit Code Assistant, a generative AI code assistant. Trained with approximately 370 million text tokens from Qiskit SDK v1.x, years of Qiskit code examples, and IBM Quantum features, Qiskit Code Assistant accelerates your quantum development workflow by offering LLM-generated suggestions based on [IBM Granite 8B Code](https://www.ibm.com/products/watsonx-ai/foundation-models) that incorporate the latest features and functionalities from IBM. And soon, Qiskit Code Assistant will be able to be used alongside Qiskit patterns building blocks for reusable code and workflow simplification.
 
 Qiskit is the open-source quantum SDK preferred by 69% of respondents to the Unitary Fund's Open Source Software Survey, with nearly 600,000 registered users to date. Now you can get the performance and stability of the Qiskit SDK with the added efficiency of Qiskit Code Assistant to streamline your workflow and optimize your quantum computing programs.
