Yandex launches "75/75/75" program to push AI-native software development
Yandex
Yandex announced the "75/75/75" initiative: by the end of 2026 it wants at least 75% of its engineers regularly using AI to write code, AI involved in preparing at least 75% of code changes company-wide, and each such change to be at least 75% AI-generated. The push leans on Yandex's internal coding agent GENA, already connected to over a thousand projects, and cites cases like an ~80% AI-generated video-translation rewrite finished in two days instead of two to three weeks.
Why it matters
One of the largest Russian tech employers is formalizing company-wide AI-coding adoption targets and opening the underlying tooling to external developers, signaling how fast agentic coding is being institutionalized outside the US/China axis.
