> developers deploying models is just a non-starter
Can you explain more of what you mean by this? Were developers sufficiently comfortable they completely brushed off the suggestion of needing a tool or did the enterprise already have tooling in place?
For larger organizations, there are governance rules, accountabilities and politics at play. Generally, developers are not allowed to deploy models unless they are within the teams mandated to do so. I haven't seen any "AI" teams willing to bear the burden to allow anyone outside their team. And from what I've seen so far, developers in enterprise organizations weren't really that interested in deploying models in the first place.
