75% of cloud native developers now use AI coding tools, compared to 55% of their non-cloud native peers.

New research from CNCF and SlashData released at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon shows cloud native maturity is accelerating production AI adoption.

CNCF data shows cloud native is the on-ramp to AI, and maintainers are paying the price
The global population of cloud-native developers has topped 21 million, but the headcount tells only part of the story. Artificial intelligence is changing what those developers build and how open-source projects absorb their work. Fresh research is putting numbers on that shift. The latest State of Cloud Native Development report from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and SlashData Ltd. counts more than 21 million practitioners, or 41% of developers worldwide. Yet that figure likely misses many people who rely on cloud-native infrastructure without knowing it, according to Bob Killen (pictured, right), director of technical program management at CNCF. “The big thing is it actually might be undercounting a significant amount of them,” Killen said. “Because there’s a very large amount of people that are essentially consuming cloud-native applications without even realizing it.” Killen and Liam Bollmann-Dodd (left), principal market research consultant at SlashData, spoke with theCUBE’s Rebecca Knight at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the latest State of Cloud Native Development findings, AI adoption, the strain on open-source maintainers and the shift toward cost discipline. (* Disclosure below.)

In Q1 of this year, mobile developers ranked foldable phones fifth place as the form factor of the future (smartphones in first place), so the question is whether Apple's Duo bet wil shift this, and whether it will bring foldable app development from East Asia to NA

■調査の背景
・MozillaとSlashDataによる「The State of Open Source AI」は、Chatbot ArenaやOpenRouterといった公開データを基に、実利用におけるオープンウェイトAIモデルの動向を分析した。
・このレポートは単なる技術スペックの比較ではなく、開発者が実際にどのようなモデルを選択しているかのリアルな傾向を示している点が重要だ。

■核心的な事実と数字
・調査によると、中国製のAIモデルがオープンソース市場において圧倒的なシェアを獲得しており、米国製AIに約3倍の差をつけて利用されているというデータが出ている。
