Record Notes

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.
