On March 26, Strongbytes was proud to be part of the 4th edition of the Digital Innovation Zone Conference - DIZ 4.0: Artificial Intelligence. Human Perspective.

The conference brought together insightful voices on some of the most pressing questions in AI today: how to harness AI to our advantage, how innovation is reshaping our businesses and lives, and how to build AI as a trustworthy tool for companies and public institutions.

Our colleagues Florin Cardasim and Constanța Ghițu took the stage to present the AI services available through the Digital Innovation Zone Hub and to introduce Aegis - AI Evaluation Platform — our product focused on evaluating LLM-based solutions and why that evaluation matters.

We're glad to be part of a community that takes both innovation and its human impact seriously.

December, and especially the last days of the year, are always a good time to reflect.
To look back at what went well, what didn’t, and what can be improved.

For us, this December was about more than just the year we’re leaving behind. It marked 10 years since Strongbytes began its journey in the IT environment. 🎉

10 years of learning, building, adapting, and pushing forward.
10 years of challenges that tested us and required courage, resilience, and trust in our vision.
10 years that shaped who we are today.

We are proud of our team and grateful to everyone who has been part of Strongbytes over the years. Each person contributed to this journey through dedication, skills, ideas, and belief in what we were building.

We are also proud to contribute to the digital sector, helping businesses grow, innovate, and adapt through technology — and to do so with responsibility, curiosity, and a constant drive for quality.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners, clients, and friends who trusted us and supported us along the way. And a special thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone — your presence made this moment even more meaningful for us.

As we look ahead, we do so with confidence and excitement. The next chapter is about continuing to grow, innovate, and build impactful digital solutions — together.

Here’s to the past 10 years — and to what’s next. 🎊

We also wish all of you a great New Year, filled with success, achieved goals, and strong teams.

[EN] After almost a decade of building digital platforms for our clients, we’re thrilled to be launching our own. 🥳

Meet Aegis – an evaluation platform designed to provide insights into the performance, security, and alignment of AI systems, with a particular focus on large language models (LLMs).

We started working on Aegis in 2024, and it’s already taking shape. Even more, it has been selected for funding through the North-East Regional Programme 2021–2027, with a total project value of ~€3M. We’re pleased to be conducting part of the R&D efforts in cooperation with the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi.

This marks a big milestone for Strongbytes — and an exciting step toward shaping how AI is evaluated and adopted.
