Abstract: Implementations are described herein for using GMs such as LLMs to generate and/or modify source code. In various implementations, a modification made to either a source code comment or a snippet of source code that is referenced by the source code comment may be detected in first rendered GM output. A first GM prompt may be assembled to include data indicative of the modification and the source code comment and/or the snippet of the source code that is referenced by the source code comment. The first GM prompt may be processed using GM(s) to generate a first GM response, which may be operable to provide second rendered GM output that includes a new version of the source code in which the modification to the one of either the source code comment or the snippet is reflected in the other of the source code comment or the snippet.
