Sber entered the competition of world leaders in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and launched its own version of a multimodal neural network, a company representative told RB.RU.
The neural network can answer user questions, hold a dialogue, write program code, create text and images based on descriptions within a single context.
Unlike the popular ChatGPT chat bot, the GigaChat service “initially already supports multimodal interaction and communicates more competently in Russian,” Sberbank explained.

The neural network in the first stage will be available in test mode by invitation, now it is working in closed beta mode. To test a new neural network, you need to join a closed community on the Telegram channel.
GigaChat’s architecture is based on the NeONKA model neural network suite, which includes various neural network models and the supervised fine-tuning method, reinforcement learning with human feedback.
“GigaChat is unique in its open architecture, while global analogues of our model stick to the closed AI course. It is important that GigaChat can be used not only by mass users who like to experiment with innovations, but also by students and even researchers for serious scientific work,” said Sber President German Gref, who was quoted as saying in the message.
The SberDevices and Sber AI teams are involved in the development of the model with the support of the AIRI Institute of Artificial Intelligence and various industry experts. The neural network was trained on the Christofari Neo supercomputer.
- Earlier, Elon Musk also announced plans to create an alternative to ChatGPT to compete with Microsoft and Google. The billionaire believes it is necessary to “create a third option” to compete with OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft, and DeepMind, owned by Alphabet (Google’s parent company).
- Earlier, the head of Sberbank, German Gref, warned about the risk of creating a closed club of the world’s greatest powers in the field of artificial intelligence, similar to the nuclear club, and “urged them to do everything possible to be members of it”. club.”
