A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) analyzed over 100,000 developers and found that Large Language Models (LLMs) significantly increase code output, with developers writing 17.3 times more lines of code. However, the study also noted that the impact on actual product releases diminishes, with only a 1.3x increase. This suggests that while LLMs boost coding productivity, their effect on final delivery is less pronounced. AI
IMPACT LLMs significantly increase code generation but have a less pronounced effect on final product releases, indicating a gap between coding speed and delivery efficiency.
