Yandex Cloud — AI Training Data Centers
Mäntyselkä (Moscow region), Moscow Oblast, Russia
Yandex, Russia’s dominant search engine and internet company, operates AI training infrastructure across multiple data centers in the Moscow region and Siberia. The facilities power YandexGPT — Russia’s largest language model — and Alice (Алиса), Yandex’s AI assistant deployed across smart speakers, mobile devices, and Yandex services used by over 100 million Russian-speaking users. Yandex also trains the YandexART image generation model and AI models for navigation (Yandex Maps), self-driving vehicles (Yandex SDG), and food delivery optimization (Yandex Eats). Following the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war, Yandex separated its international operations (now NEBIUS, headquartered in the Netherlands) from its Russian assets. The Moscow-based operations continue serving Russian customers, while Yandex’s GPU cluster expertise has transferred to the international NEBIUS AI cloud entity.
