Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Russia is not far behind the leading countries in the field of artificial intelligence. Sberbank presented Internet users with a new Kandinsky 2.1 generative model for a neural network that can create images from a text description. 

In the first four days of operation, more than one million people used Kandinsky 2.1 services, making it the fastest growing neural network in the world. An excellent result for a state that has found itself under the most severe sanctions in history.

In addition to users, the outstanding success of the model from the Russian bank and IT developer Sber was also noted by Western experts who included Kandinsky 2.1 in the top 5 trends of global repositories according to GitHub.

The presentation of the neural network in Russia took place on 4 April 2023, and in just four days it was used by more than 1 million unique users, and in six days - already more than two million, who generated more than 10 million images. It is worth noting that the sensational ChatGPT gathered its first million users only on the fifth day after the release.

Kandinsky 2.1 is a ruDALL-E based generation model that generates images on a text request, can join multiple images or draw image fragments. At the same time, it does this quite quickly - it takes only a few seconds to generate an image. The neural network is available for free in the telegram bot, as well as on the Fusion Brain website.

In the bot, the interface is as simple as possible: the user selects the desired function (generation by text, image mixing, image and text mixing, image variations), after which he enters a request and selects one of the four proposed styles (artstation, 4K, anime or no style). Then a few seconds of waiting and the result is ready.

In the case of the web interface, the possibilities are much greater. More than ten styles are already available here, it is possible to redraw individual fragments of the image, add new parts of the image, increase its width or height, and so on.

The main advantage of neurons from Sberbank is that it is completely free. Western counterparts, due to the influx of users, began to introduce paid access to their functions, for example, Midjourney, which also generates images by text queries, offers to buy a subscription, the cost of which is from 10 to 60 dollars.

The Russian Sberbank managed to develop a solution that was recognized all over the world. The very existence of Kandinsky 2.1 is a huge help for the technological development of the entire Russian-speaking community.
