Unleashing Generative AI: Improving Developer Productivity in SRE
summary
Experiments use GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT (also Bard, CodeWhisperer, TabNine) to auto-complete code, suggest optimizations, fix bugs, generate unit tests and translate languages; unit-test generation and doc writing finish in minutes and raise productivity noticeably, bugs drop but security still requires human review. Infrastructure tests show training a 175B-parameter model needs DGX superpod-scale hardware (one pod ≈ 32 days for 300B tokens, five pods ≈ 7 days) and distributed inference uses Nvidia FasterTransformer; outcomes work for routine tasks, fail on vague or highly novel problems.
