Russians have begun to actively use domestic neural networks, while foreign solutions are losing popularity. This was reported by Yandex.
In the spring of 2025, analysts note, foreign neural networks were popular. But since the summer, they have begun to lose their audience. Thus, the share of chatbots for accessing foreign neural networks has halved over the past six months.
According to Yandex, Russians have begun to prefer localized services that are more adapted to the local context. Over the past two months, the daily audience of "Alice AI" in the chat has increased by 1.5 times.
We are seeing a steady trend: users are increasingly turning to "Alice" and its daily audience continues to grow steadily.
According to Alexander Auzan, Dean of the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov, the transition of users to Russian services indicates the competitiveness of domestic developments.
This is a cumulative effect of the efforts of developers to create advanced solutions and competent promotion of AI services by our IT companies. If you do not develop and promote your own developments, then the market will be captured by foreign neural networks. I predict that the share of Russian AI services will grow.
