Gartner defines a data science and machine learning platform as an integrated set of code-based libraries and low-code tooling. These platforms support the independent use and collaboration among data scientists and their business and IT counterparts, with automation and AI assistance through all stages of the data science life cycle, including business understanding, data access and preparation, model creation and sharing of insights. They also support engineering workflows, including the creation of data, feature, deployment and testing pipelines. The platforms are provided via desktop client or browser with supporting compute instances or as a fully managed cloud offering.
Generative AI (GenAI) engineering refers to the field of engineering that focuses on the development, implementation and optimization of generative AI models. Generative AI refers to technologies that can generate new derived versions of content, strategies, designs and methods by learning from large repositories of original source content. By developing GenAI models, engineers can create new and innovative ways to generate content. The vendors in this segment are made up by incumbent and startup vendors covering full-model life cycle management, specifically adjusted to and catering to development, refinement and deployment of generative models (e.g., LLMs) and other GenAI artifacts in production applications. Please note that this market is based on Beta research and is continuously evolving. We will be making changes as and when there are new updates.
