2024: Service Launch
On September 12, 2024, Yandex announced the launch of a new Yandex Code Assistant service designed to automatically generate program code based on artificial intelligence. The service, designed to simplify the work of programmers, is already available in test mode on the Yandex Cloud platform. Yandex Code Assistant is expected to be part of a broader platform designed to build, deploy and accompany digital products.
According to Kommersant, Yandex Code Assistant is a tool that analyzes the context of the code and offers auto-completion developers, including functions, cycles, conditions and other programming elements. The service, which is under preliminary testing, is positioned as a competitor to similar solutions in the market, such as GitHub Copilot, which was developed by Microsoft but has become unavailable in Russia due to sanctions. However, Russian developers continue to create their own versions of such tools. Among them is the GigaCode service from Sberbank, which, according to the company, is already used by more than 20 thousand users.
Yandex clarifies that Yandex Code Assistant is compatible with most popular code editors, which makes it easy to integrate into programmers' workflows. According to Grigory Atrepiev, Product Director of Yandex Cloud, this service will be part of the company's future platform for digital products. He also added that other tools could be added to Code Assistant in the future, such as automatic code validation and annotation services.
Participants in the IT market interviewed by the publication positively assess the Yandex initiative, noting that such tools can increase the efficiency of programmers. However, many emphasize that for such solutions to be fully successful, integration with their own development environments (IDEs) is necessary. Yandex has not yet announced by mid-September 2024 whether the company will develop its IDE, but based on the available information, it is assumed that in the future the company's services will include broader capabilities for working with the code.[1][2]
