Following Western sanctions linked to the war in Ukraine, Russia is trying to develop its own technology sector and is now embarking on the race for artificial intelligence. Sberbank, the largest bank in Russia and of which the state is the majority shareholder, has just announced GigaChat, its own answer to ChatGPT. For now, GigaChat is available in an experimental version, and only by invitation.
According to the bank, the main asset of this chatbot is its mastery of the Russian language, which is much better than foreign AIs. In addition to being a chatbot, able to dialogue and answer questions, it can generate images from text like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney or Dall-E, and generate source code. It will also have the advantage of being available in the country, since OpenAI has blocked access to ChatGPT from Russia. In addition, it allows you to keep control of the data used for training, and therefore to ensure that the chatbot will not talk regarding annoying subjects…
It’s not the only non-Western generative AI, as China already has Ernie from Baidu and Tongyi Qianwen from Alibaba, with other firms in the country planning to launch their own chatbots soon.
