PolymarketRules
Russia faces severe limitations on its access to AI compute, critical for developing and deploying AI at scale.
- Russia has no ability to indigenously produce AI accelerators or any of their key inputs, and so is entirely reliant on overseas supply.
- Sanctions related to the Russia-Ukraine war cut it off from legal access to western AI chips, though it has been actively smuggling AI compute, with reported routes going through India - https://archive.ph/QpU8Z.
- Its other option would be importing Chinese produced AI accelerators from Huawei, Cambricon etc. though to date there has been no reported cases of exports of these chips outside China.
- Unverified reporting places Russian AI leader Sberbank’s stockpile of GPUs at 9,000 as of February 2025 - http://rferl.org/a/deepseek-russian-ai-sber-yandex-kandinsky-censorship/33305704.html.
- Though it is unlikely these are all integrated into a single data centre cluster.
