Customer case study: Zencoder x Nebius AI Studio

Accelerating software development with enterprise-grade AI inference

Overview

Zencoder is transforming software engineering by providing the most integrated, customizable, and intuitive AI coding agents. Their solution seamlessly integrates into every stage of the software development lifecycle, from onboarding and refactoring to automated testing and continuous integration, allowing developers to focus on innovation rather than routine tasks.

To deliver world-class AI coding experiences, Zencoder required a robust, scalable AI inference platform that could provide consistent performance, expert guidance, and seamless access to cutting-edge models without the operational overhead of managing infrastructure.

Watch our own Dylan Bristot in conversation with Leon Malisov, Developer Advocate at Zencoder, as they recap how the company utilizes Nebius AI Studio:

Challenge

Building an AI coding assistant that developers love requires more than just access to models — it demands ultra-low latency responses, consistent reliability, and the flexibility to rapidly iterate and improve. Zencoder needed to:

  • Deliver near-instantaneous code suggestions that feel natural in developer workflows.

  • Maintain consistent performance across varying workloads and usage patterns.

  • Access and evaluate the latest AI models without infrastructure complexity.

  • Scale confidently as their customer base and feature set expanded.

Solution

Zencoder partnered with Nebius to leverage their comprehensive AI infrastructure and inference platform:

  • Nebius AI Infrastructure: Provided stable, efficient multi-node training capabilities using industry-standard frameworks, enabling Zencoder to optimize and fine-tune their AI models for software engineering tasks.

  • Nebius AI Studio: Delivered high-performance inference with enterprise-grade reliability. Beyond raw computational power, Nebius provided proactive support, expert guidance on model selection and optimization, early access to frontier models, and dedicated architectural consulting to ensure Zencoder can focus on product innovation beyond infrastructure management.

Results

The partnership with Nebius enabled Zencoder to achieve breakthrough performance in AI-assisted software development:

  • Ultra-low latency inference enabling seamless, real-time code completion that feels natural to developers.

  • Industry-leading accuracy on complex software engineering tasks, significantly outperforming existing solutions.

  • Rapid iteration cycles with quick access to emerging models and inference optimizations.

  • Close, continuous collaboration with expertise at Nebius.

These benefits translate directly and immediately into real customer impact:

  • Enhanced Product Reliability: Consistent high performance across all customer interactions, building trust and adoption.

  • Confident Scaling: Robust infrastructure support allowed Zencoder to expand their customer base among leading enterprises without performance concerns.

  • Focus on Core Value: By offloading infrastructure complexity to Nebius, Zencoder’s team could concentrate entirely on building superior AI coding experiences.

What’s Next?

Zencoder continues to leverage Nebius AI Studio’s expanding portfolio of advanced models to build next-generation autonomous coding agents. These agents will tackle increasingly sophisticated software engineering challenges — from managing technical debt and proactive bug detection to comprehensive end-to-end testing automation — further revolutionizing how developers work and creating new standards for AI-assisted software development.

Agent 101: Launching production-grade agents at scale

To go from prototype to production, AI agents need more than just a good model. In this guide, we break down the four components that matter most: reliable LLMs, orchestration frameworks, evaluation tools, and memory systems. We cover how teams are using Nebius AI Studio with CrewAI, ADK, LangChain, and more to ship scalable, observability-friendly agent workflows, all powered by fast, cost-efficient inference.

Beyond prompting: Fine-tuning LLMs with Nebius AI Studio

In this blog post, we’ll demonstrate how to fine-tune an LLM using Nebius AI Studio with a function-calling task as our running example. The goal isn’t to achieve state-of-the-art results but to walk you through the steps and showcase why fine-tuning matters.
