Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at the “Digital Solutions” forum that he uses Alisa, a product of the company Yandex. The three outlets that covered the remark described the product differently: Vedomosti reported that the prime minister is an active user of Yandex's Alisa neural network, TASS said he uses the AI “Alisa”, and RIA Novosti said he uses the smart speaker “Alisa”.

Vedomosti quoted Mishustin as saying: “I am an active user myself, I especially like the ‘Expert’ mode.” The outlet reported that he made the remark while touring the exhibition at the forum. [ 2 ]
Vedomosti placed the statement alongside a ranking published on 5 October by the venture fund Andreessen Horowitz, in which Yandex apps with Alisa AI entered the top 15 most popular generative AI mobile services by monthly audience. Yandex took 13th place, entered the ranking for a second consecutive time and was the only Russian company on the list, the outlet reported. [ 2 ]
Mishustin had previously spoken about the product: on 27 March, Vedomosti reported, he said Alisa AI was one of the examples of successful Russian solutions in the field of AI. The head of government said domestic large language models are in demand because they take into account local context, the specifics of language and culture and the particularities of regions, which is achieved through training on Russian-language data.

Por qué importa
The remarks come from the head of government at an industry forum and amount to an endorsement of a domestic AI product by a senior official, in line with his earlier public praise of Russian large language models. Vedomosti tied the comments to international recognition of Yandex's AI apps, though the documents give no indication of any policy decision attached to them.
