October 24, 2025 — Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today
announced Red Hat Developer Lightspeed, a new portfolio of generative AI (gen AI) solutions
designed to speed up developer workflows with intelligent, context-aware assistance. These new
virtual assistants integrate directly into Red Hat's developer tools to meet developers where they
work, helping to increase productivity and reduce context switching. Red Hat Developer Lightspeed
is included in Red Hat Developer Hub and is available in the migration toolkit for applications (MTA)
via a Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite subscription.

As the business world moves toward more specialized, domain-specific AI assistants, the demand for
raw generative power evolves to delivering trustworthy, reliable and contextually relevant
assistance. Red Hat Developer Lightspeed addresses this need by providing purpose-built AI tools
that are deeply integrated into the software development lifecycle. This helps developers bring new
and modernized applications to market faster, while adhering to operational standards.
AI-powered assistance for key developer tasks

Red Hat Developer Lightspeed is now integrated into Red Hat’s Red Hat Developer Hub and
migration toolkit for applications. The offerings are designed to assist with both non-coding and
coding tasks that support the application development lifecycle:

• Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for Red Hat Developer Hub is an AI virtual assistant
for speeding up non-coding developer tasks to increase developer productivity. Through
a chat-like interface in the Red Hat Developer Hub console, it can help with exploring
application design approaches, drafting documentation, generating test plans and
troubleshooting applications. This allows developers to more quickly move from a blank
page to an action plan or a solution, helping to increase developer productivity and
deliver business value faster. The assistant supports a "bring your own model" approach,
allowing teams to use their preferred public or self-hosted LLM to better balance their
performance, cost and data privacy needs.
