Yandex Alice assistant integrated into the YandexGPT neural network

Thanks to the YandexGPT neural network, Alice learned to write texts and offer ideas almost as well as a person who understands the subject.

The new feature is available in the Yandex app, browser, stations and smart TVs with Alice. Just say "Alice, let's think!" – and the virtual assistant will write a graduation script, write a business letter, offer a travel itinerary or wedding gift options. While Alice is just learning and can get the facts wrong. However, this does not prevent the virtual assistant from creating something new. here are some examples:

-The YandexGPT neural network was trained on the most powerful Yandex supercomputers in Russia and Eastern Europe. She saw publicly available texts – material from books, websites, articles. Among the billions of documents, the most useful ones were selected.

-Unlike previous language models, the YandexGPT neural network was trained on hundreds of thousands of examples of meaningful, well-written responses. That's why she answers simply and clearly like an experienced person. To collect and prepare these samples, Yandex used its own technologies and a team of professional AI trainers.

The neural network is constantly learning, so every day Alice will get smarter. For example, now she answers a question, not paying attention to previous comments, and in the future she will learn to delve deeper into the context of the conversation. Yandex will introduce next generation neural networks in its other products, mainly search.
