Did you know New Report Highlights AI Challenges, Expanding Applications, and Emerging Competitors Shaping 2025's AI Landscape

 

According to a new State of AI Development Report from Vellum, 2025 is going to be a year of AI but many enterprises are still not sure how. The report found that only 25% of the enterprises have deployed AI for production and even fewer have seen any noticeable impacts. The CEO of Vellum, Akash Sharma, said that there is a lot of hype around AI but companies are still not sure how to deploy AI into production. After interviewing 1,250 AI developers, Vellum found that 53% of the companies are still trying to evaluate strategies for AI, 14% are beta testing their models and 7.9% of AI developers are still in initial stages of production like talking with users and gathering data.  

 

The most common AI applications that are being developed are analysis tools, document parsing and customer service chatbots with tools like content generation, code generation, natural language, research automation and recommendation systems also being in demand. AI is also helping developers by saving their time and cost (27.1%), providing them with a competitor advantage (31.6%) and higher user adoption rates (12.6%). On the other hand, 24.2% respondents said that they are not seeing any major results from their AI investments.

Because of GPT-4 and GPT-4 mini models, OpenAI is dominating over AI models. But there are also some new and diverse options for enterprises like AWS Bedrock, Llama 3.2 70B, Fireworks AI, Groq, Together AI and Azure which are slowly creating their space. Not only engineering (82.3%), AI is moving beyond IT with many other departments like leadership (60.8%), subject matter experts (57.5%), product teams (55.4%) and design departments (38.2%) which are also becoming part of AI projects. In 2025, many AI developers are going to shift towards AI tooling to help enterprises address challenges regarding AI.
