Russian lender Sberbank said it had released technology called GigaChat as a rival to ChatGPT, initially in an invite-only testing mode, joining the artificial intelligence chatbot race.
Sberbank said what sets GigaChat apart was its ability to communicate more intelligently in Russian than other foreign neural networks.
The release last year of ChatGPT, a chatbot from the Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI, has caused a sprint in the technology sector to put AI into more users' hands.
