Gartner has published its 2023 Magic Quadrant for Cloud AI Developer Services, where Tencent Cloud has been recognised in this Magic Quadrant for four consecutive years.
The report evaluated cloud AI developer services (CAIDS) providers worldwide based on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. Gartner also published Critical Capabilities for Cloud AI Developer Services as an essential companion to the report.
