How is skill demand measured?

We scan the title and description of every active AI job posting for a curated vocabulary of skills, then rank each skill by the number of distinct live roles that mention it. Share is that count divided by all active AI roles.

Which skills are counted?

Programming languages, ML frameworks, AI techniques (RAG, fine-tuning, agents), cloud and data tools, and current LLM tooling (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, vLLM, and more). Skills appearing in fewer than 10 live roles are omitted to avoid noise.

It reflects live listings and updates as new roles are posted and old ones close. Each skill links to its current openings.

About this data

How is skill demand measured?: We scan the title and description of every active AI job posting for a curated vocabulary of skills, then rank each skill by the number of distinct live roles that mention it. Share is that count divided by all active AI roles.
Which skills are counted?: Programming languages, ML frameworks, AI techniques (RAG, fine-tuning, agents), cloud and data tools, and current LLM tooling (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, vLLM, and more). Skills appearing in fewer than 10 live roles are omitted to avoid noise.
How current is it?: It reflects live listings and updates as new roles are posted and old ones close. Each skill links to its current openings.
