Rubytech Tests Russian LLM Cotype 3 on Chinese GPUs Matching NVIDIA H100 Performance

Rubytech has completed testing of the Russian large language model Cotype 3 from MWS AI on Chinese graphics processing units, demonstrating performance comparable to systems based on NVIDIA H100 accelerators.

The experiments were conducted on the Skala^r software-hardware complex designed for generative artificial intelligence workloads. In the test configuration, eight Chinese GPUs were deployed. When processing contexts of 27,000 tokens, the system achieved an average first-token generation time of approximately 8 seconds and inter-token latency ranging from 111 milliseconds.

According to Rubytech, these metrics are sufficient to support enterprise-grade AI services. Engineers performed extensive adaptations of drivers, the software stack, and orchestration mechanisms. In selected inference scenarios, these optimizations delivered speedups of 2 to 2.2 times relative to the default Chinese GPU environment.

The containerized architecture is expected to simplify model deployment and accelerate the transition from laboratory testing to production environments. The primary conclusion drawn from the trials is that corporate AI infrastructure can be constructed without exclusive dependence on NVIDIA accelerators.

This finding holds particular significance for government agencies, state-participated enterprises, and organizations operating critical information infrastructure that require localized model hosting, controlled infrastructure, and the ability to scale without supply-chain uncertainties associated with NVIDIA H100 GPUs.

Rubytech also indicated that Chinese GPUs can reduce total cost of ownership in specific use cases. The company stressed that the results represent an additional viable option rather than a full departure from NVIDIA technology. Future plans include testing newer generations of Chinese accelerators and expanding the range of supported Russian models and enterprise AI services.

Deploying Self-Hosted Hysteria 2 Proxy on Debian-Based Linux VPS via Terminal

A detailed guide explains how to set up a personal Hysteria 2 proxy server on a KVM VPS running Debian or Ubuntu without any web panels. The process begins with generating ed25519 SSH keys, hardening the sshd_config file, and restricting access with ufw to only TCP port 22 and UDP port 443. Hysteria 2 is downloaded from GitHub, made executable, and configured using a TOML file that enables salamander obfuscation and a self-signed TLS certificate. A custom systemd unit ensures the service restarts on failure. The client configuration includes SHA256 pinning of the server certificate to prevent MITM attacks. The guide emphasizes manual CLI operations that apply equally to other services such as Nginx and stresses checking local laws before deployment.

Rostec Scales PCAT Platform Nationwide as Russia's First Industrial Marketplace

Rostec has expanded its PCAT platform to every organization within the state corporation that manufactures civilian products. Operating since 2025 and upgraded in September 2026, the platform now unites more than 180 enterprises and research organizations. Its catalog contains over 1,250 finished products along with 370 technological and manufacturing competencies. Visitors can locate not only equipment and components but also partners able to design, test, or produce required solutions. The portal receives more than 23,000 weekly visits, 60 percent of them from corporations and large enterprises. Rostec is extending the network into the regions through supply-chain agreements already signed with Krasnodar Krai and the oblasts of Tver, Tula, and Ryazan. In parallel the corporation launched the Robot Management System in November 2025 for centralized control of robots, sensors, and related IT services.

Kate Mobile Loses VK API Access After New Request Limits Exhaust Quota in 1.5 Days

Popular third-party Android client Kate Mobile has been cut off from VK services following the introduction of strict monthly API request caps. VK implemented the new limits on September 7, offering verified partners up to 100 million requests per month while requiring payment for additional access by third-party services. Kate Mobile developers had requested pricing details in advance but received no response from VK. Calculations showed that the app's real user base would consume the entire 100-million-request allowance in roughly 36 hours, with the messages.send method alone generating twice the allowed volume. Caching optimizations cannot mitigate the issue because message sending cannot be cached. Developers view the change as an effort to eliminate alternative clients rather than a genuine monetization strategy. Users expressed disappointment, praising the app's long-term support and criticizing the official VK client for excessive features and advertising.

Russian AI Research Ranks High in Global Science but Struggles with Commercialization

Russia has secured third place among BRICS nations and twentieth worldwide in the number of scientific papers presented at ten leading international conferences on machine learning and artificial intelligence. According to a study by the Scientometric Center of HSE University, Russian organizations contributed 560 papers between 2020 and 2025 that received over 12,300 citations. The average international citation rate reached 3.59, surpassing India despite fewer total publications. Russian strengths are most evident in the mathematics of machine learning, optimization, and formal concept analysis, with notable results also in computer vision and speech technologies. More than 40 percent of domestic publications involve business participation, led by Yandex among companies, HSE University and Skoltech among universities, and AIRI among non-profit organizations. Significant barriers remain, including shortages of computing power, limited access to high-quality data, and weak transfer of research into commercial products, particularly in natural language processing, AI agents, and infrastructure technologies. The Ministry of Digital Development has announced plans to stimulate demand for domestic AI solutions, expand computing infrastructure, improve regulation, and accelerate the implementation of scientific developments.
