Abstract
This IDC Survey Spotlight examines data regarding the role of IT personas such as developers, data scientists, platform engineers, IT operators, DevOps professionals, QA and testing professionals, and business analysts across a multitude of generative AI workstreams. Relevant workstreams include chip and processor selection, foundation model selection, and foundation model transformation by means of modalities such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), fine-tuning, reflection tuning, and function calling. Additional workstreams include model deployment as well as the deployment of solutions that leverage foundation models. The findings illustrate that a multitude of personas are involved in each of these workstreams. Notably, developers are key contributors to the making of final decisions about each of these workstreams.
