Internally they are allowed. There are internal productivity tools (IDE Plugins, APIs, Frameworks, Chat) with homegrown models (in the press) and the ability to switch to other models. The various models are integrated throughout the engineering tools and Slack.

So, uh, do you think they've driven productivity up 30%? ;) ;) ;)
I'll say as an ex-FAANG that recently released a similar stat that it was absolutely real, but only because doing anything required an atrocious amount of boilerplate that AI was really good at figuring out.

Compared to how productive I am at my current startup? Not a chance.

Well put. LLMs seem great in environments full of the cruft LLMs are trained on. Seems obvious but I hadn't put it together. Thanks for the insight.
Anecdotally, I'd say AI assistants have probably improved my coding productivity by 30%

So maybe it's true at salesforce too?
