Researchers from Honda Research Institute Europe developed an Agile Model-Driven Development (AMDD) approach, leveraging GPT-4 as a code generator to produce deployable software from formally constrained models. The method demonstrated the LLM's capability to generate structurally sound, multi-language code while also inferring and complementing logical system interactions.

Key insights

  • LLMs like GPT-4 can interpret complex, formally constrained models beyond direct translation, inferring and extending the model's intent to add logical realism and completeness to generated systems.
  • Incorporating additional semantic constraints (e.g., OCL, FIPA-ontology) into models does not lead to an unmanageable increase in the cyclomatic complexity of the auto-generated code, maintaining good structural integrity.
  • Integrating LLMs as adaptable code generators significantly enhances the agility and adaptability of MDD by reducing the traditional reliance on labor-intensive, bespoke code generators for specific platforms and languages.
