This seems an incredibly vague poll - what is meant by ‘AI capable’?

I’m able to run Meta’s LLaMA model on a six year old laptop, and a raspberry PI can use most LLMs as a front end.

Are you looking for generative AI ran locally? Additional servers for on-prem computation?

The logical answer would be to increase spending on virtualisation instead of end user machines…

I am interested in people who have tried generative AI coding projects.  In your experience, are there project attributes that make generative AI coding capabilities a "good fit"?  Are there project attributes that are likely indicators that generative AI will not result in something useful?  I would think complexity of requirements is a big factor.  If the complexity of the project or its requirements is low - I assume genAI coding can get you within the ballpark.  For instance, logic stores: if your project has critical business logic spread out all over the place and not centralized I think that generative AI would not be able to make sufficient sense of that.

What are some less obvious or downstream opportunity costs you’ve encountered with AI implementation?

Most of the application team I lead is in Brazil and the global IT leadership (US-based) now wants to move some of that work to a new global delivery center in India to be more cost effective, but I have doubts. The Brazil team is delivering good quality — is cost efficiency enough reason to relocate the work? What are the biggest pros/cons we need to consider?
