Stand8 Launches Evoc8, a Flexible Co-Development Studio for Game Teams

Los Angeles – September 29, 2026 -- Stand8 has launched Evoc8, a game and digital experiences co-development studio designed to give development teams elastic access to engineering, art, QA, production, LiveOps, and player support capacity.

Evoc8 targets capacity gaps across the full game production lifecycle

The studio supports teams from pre-production through launch and ongoing LiveOps, combining an in-house development bench with international studio partners and Stand8's existing talent solutions infrastructure. Studios can engage a single specialist, a discipline-specific pod, a production strike team, or a fully integrated team covering both development and post-release operations.

Stand8 Expands Mexico Nearshore Hub for 24x7 Enterprise IT Support

Los Angeles – September 25, 2026 -- Stand8 has expanded its nearshore operations in Mexico to deliver 24x7 Service Desk, Network Operations Center, and technology operations support for large enterprise clients, aligning bilingual technical teams with U.S. operating hours and global service schedules.

Stand8 deploys bilingual Mexico-based teams to cut pressure on onshore support staff

The nearshore model integrates directly into clients' existing platforms, service-level agreements, and governance frameworks, giving enterprises continuous coverage without ceding visibility or control over service delivery. Teams operate within established client workflows, tools, and escalation paths rather than replacing existing structures.

Stand8 Launches Model Gateway to Cut Enterprise AI Costs in 90 Days

Los Angeles – September 24, 2026 -- Stand8, a global technology consulting firm, has launched the Stand8 Model Gateway, a new enterprise AI service designed to reduce model spending and compress the path from proof of concept to production AI deployment into a 90-day sprint.

Gateway routes each AI task to the most cost-effective model without touching client data

The gateway is deployed inside the client's own cloud account on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, sitting between applications and the models they call. Stand8 designs and tunes the routing logic but does not sit in the data path itself. The system evaluates each task and routes it to the most appropriate option among leading closed models, open-source and open-weight models, or smaller fine-tuned models, while layering in caching, identity, policy, and audit controls.
