GlobalData evaluates AI platforms in light of new generative AI developments
Generative AI (GenAI) caused a momentous shift in the enterprise AI platform market in early 2023. During the spring of 2023, all major cloud-based enterprise AI platform providers scrambled to launch their own large language models and services and offer tools to support the deployment of GenAI on their platforms. Almost overnight, AI platform providers pivoted their priorities from offering tools that facilitate data management, query data across repositories, streamline collaboration and version control, and assist with model management and monitoring to supplying tools that help customers incorporate genAI into their applications, according to GlobalData.
“Enterprises should plan for future use of GenAI while selecting an AI platform provider,” said Rena Bhattacharyya, chief analyst and practice lead, enterprise technology and services at GlobalData. “Buyers should consider an AI platform’s capacity to incorporate large language models and customize foundational models from multiple vendors since it is still early days, and it is yet to be seen whether some models will perform better for certain workloads than others.”
