Sberbank will launch an advanced version of its AI model Gigachat, capable of reasoning, usable in scientific research.

Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, announces the development of an advanced version of its Gigachat language model, which will include reasoning functions. Alexander Vediakhin, the bank's first vice-president, said the new model will be able to solve complex tasks in science, programming and mathematics. Despite lagging behind the US and China, Sberbank believes its Russian-language adaptation and in-house cloud infrastructure give it an advantage in the local market, where 15,000 companies already use Gigachat.
