IIT Student Takes Third at AI DevTools Hack 2025

From December 6–19, the AI DevTools Hack 2025 hackathon brought together machine learning engineers, DevOps specialists, backend developers, and data analysts in a fully online format. The event was hosted by Cloud.ru, a provider of cloud services and AI technologies that supports over 100 IaaS and PaaS services plus the public “Cloud.ru Evolution” cloud built on its own technology stack.

Participants competed in two tracks: "MCP for Business AI Transformation" and "TestOps Copilot," which drew more than 2,000 entrants. Only eight teams per track advanced to the finals.

In the "TestOps Copilot" final, the Institute of Information Technologies’ SoloTech team, whose sole member was second-year student Stanislav Vinokur, took third place and earned a substantial 150,000-ruble award.

Congratulations on this outstanding result at a major technology competition focused on domestically developed alternative AI solutions.
