but how will it be maintained? "IAC" seems like a bit of a misnomer here, if I'm understanding correctly. Now, if Pulumi generated terraform for me to maintain, that'd be a different matter, but this article seems to just produce cloud resources based on LLM prompts, which are not deterministic at all.

Pulumi is an IAC tool similar to Terraform (it actually usually calls terraform providers over gRPC under the hood), just written in languages like Typescript/Python. I think the intention would be to use this AI prompt thing to generate pulumi and then to insert it into your codebase, just like you'd do with terraform, and then it becomes deterministic.

I've used ChatGPT and other tools to generate Pulumi before, so I'm not totally sure how this specific tool from Pulumi is different, but I'd guess they've somehow trained it more specifically on their sdks/docs or something

thanks for the clarification

It produces pulumi programs which are the equivalent of a terraform module or main.tf file. Whether or not said programs are deterministic is another matter.
