IDC recently released a report stating that China's generative AI application development platform market is booming and enterprises urgently need a unified AI development platform to manage data, models and applications. The report provides a detailed analysis of the key capabilities that the platform should have, such as data preparation, model tuning, RAG/Prompt support, model deployment, and security assurance, and predicts that China's generative AI software market will reach US$3.54 billion by 2025. The report also emphasizes the core position of large model platforms in future enterprise AI development platforms, as well as the possible differentiation trend of large model platforms in the future.
Recently, International Data Corporation (IDC) released a technology assessment report titled "China's Generative AI Application Development Platform Market: The Prototype of an Enterprise Unified AI Development Platform" in Beijing.
The report points out that enterprises urgently need a unified AI development platform when expanding generative AI applications. This platform can help management, employees and technical departments at all levels achieve unified management of data, models and applications. IDC emphasizes a series of basic capabilities that a generative AI application development platform should have, including data preparation, model tuning, RAG/Prompt support, model deployment, and ensuring application security.
In addition, IDC mentioned that the current definition of large model platform in the market has not yet been unified. In the future, enterprises will need a comprehensive AI development platform, of which large model platform will be one of the key functions.
IDC predicts that by 2025, China's generative AI software market will reach US$3.54 billion. With the improvement of basic capabilities of large models and the innovation of application forms, in the future large model platforms will gradually differentiate into underlying platforms and agent development platforms. The former will be integrated with enterprise data analysis and machine learning development platforms, while the latter will move towards low-code No-code direction development.
Lu Yanxia, director of artificial intelligence research at IDC China, said that although basic large model capabilities will continue to rapidly improve in 2024 and generative AI applications will gradually be implemented, it is still in the early stages and industry participants need to pay close attention to the evolution and generation of basic model capabilities. The latest developments in AI application products.
Highlight:
The development of generative AI technology faces multiple challenges such as talent shortage and regulatory risks.
Enterprises need a unified AI development platform to achieve unified management of data, models and applications.
IDC predicts that by 2025, China's generative AI software market will reach US$3.54 billion.
All in all, IDC's report provides an important reference for the development of China's generative AI market, points out the direction of enterprise-level application platform construction, and reminds industry participants to pay attention to technology development and market dynamics, actively respond to challenges, and seize opportunities.
