According to the bank’s press service, the total number of users since the launch of Sber’s neural networks GigaChat and Kandinsky has reached 18 million.
“We are very pleased that our artificial intelligence services are becoming increasingly popular among users. Sber development teams are actively working to make the solutions even better,” said Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sberbank.
According to him, a new version of the Kandinsky neural network will be released at the right time, which will have greater capabilities in working with images and videos, and will also significantly improve the quality of production.
GigaChat was launched by Sber in spring 2023 as an advanced Russian neural network. As a reminder, this AI can perform a variety of tasks, including carrying on conversations, composing text, generating code, and more. In September of the same year, access to GigaChat became available to everyone.
It was noted that the integration of the Kandinsky neural network into GigaChat adds the ability to create unique images. Kandinsky allows users to create photorealistic images in a variety of styles and understands queries in more than 100 languages.
One of the most popular in GigaChat has become the function of creating unique postcards for holidays and processing requests for writing text, creating images and retelling thesis. So, for the holidays February 14 and March 8, 1.4 million VKontakte users created more than 2 million postcards.
In addition, the service processed many requests for text writing, visual creation, and retelling of the thesis. In just one month, GigaChat on VKontakte processed nearly 12 million requests.
