According to a report by the Russian media Russia Today , local technology giant Yandex stated in an interview that the large model it created, YandexGPT, has better performance and broader prospects than ChatGPT.
Dmitry Masyuk, director of the search and ad technology business unit at Yandex, said YandexGPT has been able to "steadily outperform" ChatGPT version 3.5 when generating Russian content, and even provides better answers than ChatGPT 4.0 in many cases . He added that it would be “just a matter of time” before YandexGPT could compete with its American rivals.
Compared with Llama-2-7b developed by Meta Company, YandexGPT can also generate "better answers", including generating English content .
Dmitry Masyuk also said that the company is constantly evaluating the technological progress of its generative AI and ChatGPT. But it's actually difficult to compare the two systems because they each have their own strengths. For example, a neural network that can solve physics problems, write fairy tales, and write letters to the CEO will be better at some things and worse at others. So overall, should this system be said to be "better" or "worse"?
