Most professional developers who indicated they used Google Gemini last year, are interested in other AI-oriented subjects like "Large Language Model" or "RAG", and tools like "Ollama".

This pattern holds true for both Professional Developers and those Learning to Code, showing that developers at all levels are actively exploring the rapidly evolving AI landscape rather than committing to a single tool or platform.
