Original Abstract Submitted

a generative artificial intelligence (ai) driven code fixing pipeline has been created that uses a transformer-based large language model (llm) to patch flawed program code. a pre-trained llm is fine-tuned to generate a response that is a modified version of a code fragment in a prompt to the pre-trained model. after fine-tuning, the pre-trained llm (hereinafter “code fix model”) is integrated into a pipeline that includes a program code cybersecurity scanner and a prompt generator. the scanner generates indications of flaws in program code and weakness types for those flaws. these indications flow into the prompt generator. the prompt generator retrieves reference code pairs based on weakness type and programming language to generate a batch of prompts to run inference on with the code fix model. the responses generated by the code fix model are presented as patching alternatives.
