MTS launches a new II assistant for developers
MTS launches a new ASSISTICE for developers who supports 90 programming languages. The company expects to occupy 10% of the market, the volume of which this year can amount to 17.4 billion rubles. However, competing with existing solutions, some of which are also free will be difficult. In addition, II Assistants have not yet coped with narrow-industrial tasks and have the risks of information security.
MTS AI displays the Assistant market for the developers of Kodify 2, said Pavel Voronin, CEO of MTS Web Services, Kommersant. The company introduced the first version of its model in June 2024 and previously used it inside the MTS ecosystem, now it will sell the product in the commercial market.
MTS AI claims that the updated AI assistant supports 90 programming languages, contains 7 billion parameters, supports the context of up to 32,768 tokens and is supplied with the Openai-compensated API. The average cost of the implementation of the developer and the developer and the developer today is about 5 million rubles, the company says.
AISSSTENT for developers allows you to generate parts of the code, optimize it or conduct checks for errors.
MTS AI expects to occupy 10% of the market, which already presents decisions from Yandex – SourceCraft Code Assistant and Sberic – Gigacode. According to MTS AI, the volume of the market for the developers in Russia will amount to 17.4 billion rubles. In 2025, with growth last year, 25%.
Yandex told Kommersant that their AI assistant is available free of charge as a platform for the development of SourceCraft and as a plugin for “popular development media”. The company adds that “for six months of public testing, thousands of external users asked for access to the service: from individual developers to large companies from retail, banking sphere and other industries.” The Savter did not respond to the request. Avito was informed “Kommersant” that they are now testing their own Assist to accelerate the writing of the code, but they do not plan to take it to the market yet.
Competition with other Kodify 2 players will not be easy to withstand, since from a technical point of view, MTS has not yet traced some kind of “killer-fchi”, and the characteristics of their model correspond to foreign analogues of Open Source, said Anna Oleinikova, product development director of Innostage. “Not all companies will be ready to pay about 5 million rubles. For implementation, when free solutions are presented on the market, ”she adds. “The company will need to make efforts to find its niche and successfully promote the product in the market,” said Alexander Sysoev, head of the “infrastructure solutions” KROC.
According to Alexander Sysoev, AISSTRAS is already quite successfully cope with the automation of routine processes, increasing the speed of development and improving the quality of the code.
However, for specialized software, for example, industrial, AISSTRITS must be accumulated and to be assembled, because the general AISSISTRIs do not understand the specifics of the requirements for the accuracy and safety of industrial solutions, Kommersant’s interlocutor explains in a large oil company. “AI can generate a vulnerabilities code if the developers do not conduct a thorough audit,” adds Igor Skobelev General Director GU Digital (part of Rosatom).
The quality of the code created by AI models can worsen over time, since the already created Code of Code will be reproduced, explains Vladislav Laptev FORK-TECH, the innovation director of the FORK-TECH. “It is necessary to control the quality of data for teaching models and use the mechanisms that separate the human code from the machine. AI Assistants should remain tools for supporting developers, and not a complete replacement of specialists, ”he adds.
