DEEP Next grants businesses access to a team of virtual developers that can perform tests, write code from scratch and complete API integrations
STX Next, a global leader in IT consulting, today announced the launch of DEEP Next, an AI-powered virtual development solution designed to assist businesses with the maintenance and growth of their applications.
DEEP Next digitises the programming process, supported by an AI agent that can write entire applications with the human developer transitioning to the role of AI supervisor. The solution acts as an autonomous AI developer, project manager or QA engineer, handling tasks with high levels of complexity all the way to deployment.
Commenting on the launch of DEEP Next, Bartek Roszak, Head of AI at STX Next, said: “STX Next has embraced its heritage as a Python powerhouse to architect a groundbreaking AI solution. DEEP Next represents a groundbreaking shift in AI, moving the paradigm from AI as a support mechanism for human tasks to a collaborative framework where humans take on a supervisory role.
India’s diplomatic and economic landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, marked by its recent development in a ground-breaking free-trade agreement (FTA) with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). This consortium, distinct from the European Union, includes Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, and Liechtenstein—a quartet of economic prowess.
In an era where globalization and international collaboration are the linchpins of economic development, this FTA stands out as a beacon of progress. The pact is poised to inject an astounding $100 billion into India’s economy, heralded by the country’s Trade Minister as a monumental stride towards economic revitalization and job creation.
With general elections on the horizon and Prime Minister Modi eyeing an unprecedented third term, this FTA could not only redefine India’s economic landscape but also shape its political future.
At the heart of this agreement lies a mutual commitment to prosperity. India, in exchange for a significant influx of investments spanning 15 years, will dismantle most import tariffs on a swath of industrial goods emanating from the EFTA countries. This arrangement is set to bolster sectors ranging from pharmaceuticals to machinery, knitting closer economic ties and fostering a symbiotic growth trajectory.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, envisioning this deal as a cornerstone of his economic policy, lauded it as a catalyst for mutual growth and prosperity. His optimism is not just rhetoric but a reflection of a broader strategy to intertwine India’s economic fabric with global markets.
The journey to this agreement was neither swift nor straightforward. Spanning almost 16 years, the negotiations attest to the complexities of modern trade deals and the perseverance of the nations involved. As the deal awaits ratification—a procedural yet crucial step towards its fruition—anticipation builds over its potential to redefine economic relationships.
Notably, this FTA emerges amidst India’s broader trade strategy, as evidenced by recent deals with Australia and the United Arab Emirates. Moreover, it unfolds as India and the UK navigate the intricate dance of their FTA discussions, underscoring India’s growing influence and strategic importance on the global stage.
With general elections on the horizon and Prime Minister Modi eyeing an unprecedented third term, this FTA could not only redefine India’s economic landscape but also shape its political future. It represents a pivot towards open markets, a testament to the enduring power of international cooperation in fostering economic growth and stability.
As the world watches, the India-EFTA FTA could herald a new era of economic diplomacy, where trade bridges nations and prosperity is a shared endeavour. The future, indeed, holds the promise of a more interconnected and thriving global economy, with India at its forefront.
