Russia plans to use Chinese-made processors to develop its flagship GigaChat AI model. This was announced by Sberbank CEO German Gref during the Russian President's visit to China. This is reported by Ixbt.com .
"We hope to use Chinese microchips for GigaChat," German Gref noted in an interview with Perviy kanal. However, the bank head did not disclose specific details regarding which types of chips will be purchased and implemented.
According to Reuters, China's most advanced Huawei Ascend 950 chip still lags behind American NVIDIA H200 technology. Nevertheless, amid Western sanctions, alternatives in the Chinese market remain the only solution for Russian tech companies.
GigaChat is a multimodal neural network developed by Sber as a competitor to popular foreign chatbots. The service is capable of communicating, creating texts in various formats, generating images based on text descriptions, and writing programming code.
