Russia to integrate AI model Gigachat into ISS systems
-- Russia is set to incorporate its domestic artificial intelligence model, Gigachat, into the International Space Station's (ISS) IT systems, according to the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos. Gigachat, a product of Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, is one of the country's two main large language models (LLM), as Russia aims to keep pace with the United States and China in the global AI race. Dmitry Bakanov, the chief of Roscosmos, disclosed that the forthcoming mission to the ISS this fall will carry all the necessary equipment for Gigachat to operate. The AI model will aid the crew in processing satellite imagery, doubling the highest resolution from one meter per pixel to 0.5 meters. Bakanov made this announcement at a technology conference in Moscow, describing the AI integration as "direct assistance for the cosmonauts." Earlier this year, in April, a Russian spacecraft transported American astronaut Jonathan Kim and Russian cosmonauts Sergei Ryzhikov and Alexei Zubritsky to the ISS. The next Russian mission to the ISS is scheduled for November 27. Russia has committed to participating in the ISS until 2028. Additionally, the country has plans to launch the initial two modules of its own new space station in 2027.

Russia plans to integrate homegrown AI model into space station
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia plans to integrate its homegrown Gigachat artificial intelligence model into IT systems on the International Space Station (ISS), the head of space agency Roscosmos said on Tuesday. Gigachat, developed by the country's largest bank, Sberbank, is one of Russia's two flagship large language models (LLM) as it tries to catch up with the United States and China in the global AI race. Roscosmos chief Dmitry Bakanov said that the next mission to the ISS this autumn will deliver everything needed for the model to function. Gigachat will assist the crew with processing satellite imagery, increasing the maximum resolution from one meter per pixel to 0.5 meters. "This is a direct assistance for the cosmonauts," Bakanov told a technology conference in Moscow. In April, a Russian spacecraft delivered American astronaut Jonathan Kim and Russian cosmonauts Sergei Ryzhikov and Alexei Zubritsky to the ISS. The next Russian spacecraft mission to the ISS is planned for November 27. Russia has announced it will participate in the ISS until 2028 and plans to launch the first two modules of its own new space station in 2027. Sberbank is focusing on developing AI agents - goal-directed generative AI systems designed to process information, make decisions and take actions without direct, constant human input.
