With the introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs), for the first time, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) became accessible to everyday developers.
Apps that feel magical, even software that was practically impossible to build by big technology companies with billions in R&D spend, suddenly became not only possibly, but a joy to build and share.
The surge in building with AI started in 2021, grew rapidly in 2022, and exploded in the first half of 2023.
The speed of development has increased with more LLM providers (e.g., Google, OpenAI,
Cohere,
Anthropic) and developer tools (e.g., ChromaDB, LangChain).
In parallel, natural language interfaces to generate code have made building accessible to more people than ever.
Throughout this boom Replit has grown to become the central platform for AI development.
