Belitsoft Explains Text-to-Speech Breakthrough with AI Brain Implant
Twenty years ago, the late physicist Stephen Hawking relied on a single cheek-muscle twitch to tell the world what he was thinking. A tiny sensor in his glasses noticed that twitch, moved a cursor across a virtual keyboard, and let him build words one letter at a time. When he finally finished a sentence, a speech box read it out in that famous metallic voice. The process worked, but it produced only about one word per minute. It also stripped away everything that makes speaking feel human – tone, pauses, humor, even the right to interrupt someone mid-conversation. That slow, flattened style of communication became the benchmark that researchers set out to beat.

Belitsoft Explains the Debate Around Whether to Keep Investing in Agentic AI
Agent-based artificial intelligence systems, often called “agentic AI,” let software watch what is happening, decide what to do next, and carry out actions without a person steering every step. Large firms began piloting this idea in 2023 and 2024. By early 2025, it became clear that many pilots would not survive to full production. Gartner now predicts that more than 40 percent of all current agentic AI projects will be canceled or abandoned by the end of 2027.

Belitsoft sees a rise in full-stack developer hiring in 2025 (UK, USA, Canada)
Belitsoft is a nearshore partner UK organisations trust when they need to save on custom software development spend. The need for full-stack software developers is booming this year (2025) in big tech hubs such as the UK, the US, and Canada. Startups and large tech firms alike want engineers who can handle both the user-facing side of an app (front end) and the behind-the-scenes side (back end). This report looks at which companies are driving the rush for talent, how salaries are climbing, the abilities employers want most right now, and how full-stack jobs compare to front-end, back-end, and data-focused positions.

Belitsoft Announces an Ultimate Guide to Hiring Senior .NET Developers
The teams that hire high-caliber .NET developers test candidates on the actual stack and environment they’ll be working in (same tools, same workflows), use structured interviews that expose thinking under pressure, bring in future teammates to vet for fit and collaboration, and they don’t delegate hiring to people who won’t have to work with the hire.

Devstral – AI for Software Testing and Autonomous Software Engineering
On May 21 2025, Mistral AI and All Hands AI jointly unveiled Devstral, an agentic large-language model purpose-built to automate software-engineering tasks. In benchmarking, Devstral outperformed every other open-source model, demonstrating a margin of improvement. The model is distributed under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, so developers and organizations can adopt, modify, and deploy it freely. Devstral signals the next phase of open-source LLMs: not just competent completion models, but fully-agentic systems that can plug into CI/CD pipelines and deliver patches. Because the model already "understands" standard test runners and VCS commands, scaffolds need far less prompt-engineering.

Belitsoft Reveals a Playbook for Improving .NET Application Performance in 2025
CTOs and Engineering Managers are under constant pressure to align engineering with business goals – cutting cloud costs, speeding up release cycles, and keeping applications responsive. That means making sure software is not just functional, but fast, scalable, and efficient. .NET remains the backbone for many enterprise systems across various domains, from e-commerce and finance to healthcare and IoT. When .NET apps run better, the entire business does too: fewer slowdowns, better UX, more reliability where it counts. With .NET 8/9/10 rolling out, and modern cloud/hardware architectures shifting fast, yesterday’s tuning tricks may no longer apply. What worked in 2022 might cost you in 2025. This guide focuses on updated, forward-looking performance strategies – practical ways to reduce technical debt, improve system behavior, and future-proof your .NET applications.

Cloudflare Gives Website Owners Option to Charge OpenAI Bots for Scraping
Cloudflare has launched a private beta feature called Pay per Crawl, whose sole purpose is to let a website owner charge an AI crawler a fixed fee each time the crawler requests a page. The feature addresses a common operational gap: currently, a publisher can either leave all content open to automated collection or block crawlers entirely, and any paid arrangement must be negotiated manually.
