AI is changing how software is written so it's no surprise that GitLab is investing accordingly. In this conversation with chief product officer David DeSanto we examine the company's strategies and approach to large language models (LLMs) and AI, with a particular focus on trust, security and transparency. GitLab sells to many regulated industry customers, which put a premium on responsible governance. The company's journey began with ModelOps to build, train, deploy, and version AI models alongside software. More recently GitLab has moved into the generative AI space by launching GitLab Duo, an AI platform, which touches all different facets of the software delivery workflow - for example automatically generating detailed issue reports. GitLab's focus on bringing AI to self-hosted customers in air-gapped environments really underscores its commitment to privacy and transparency, and is a significant differentiator in a market which has been defined by the You Only Live Once (YOLO) just ship it approaches of the likes of OpenAI. We talk to DeSanto about GitLab's pledge not to use customer intellectual property for model fine-tuning. We also discuss the company's collaboration with Google Cloud on the security side of DevSecOps lifecycle. It's a good show. Let us know what you think.
