GigaChat 3.5 Ultra passes professional-retraining information security exam, scoring 14% above pass threshold
Sber
On Aug 25, 2026, Sber announced GigaChat 3.5 Ultra passed a 250-question test from the 'Information Security' professional-retraining program, scoring 14% above the pass threshold. Test was administered by Sber's cybersecurity unit and the Informzashchita training center. Topics covered Russian information-security law, technical protection against leaks and unauthorized access, cryptographic methods, information-system certification, and InfoSec best practices. Sber says the model was trained on 300,000+ InfoSec documents (best practices, legislation, vulnerabilities, attack tactics and techniques) by Sber's experts. Marketed as a 'first-line consultation resource' for businesses without a dedicated InfoSec specialist and an orientation aid for those entering the profession. Adds to a streak of standardized exam passes: MPEI 'Electrical Power Engineering' and 'Thermal Power Engineering' (May 2026, grade 'good'), Samara State Medical University 'Rheumatology' (Jun 2025), Privolzhsky Research Medical University 'Pediatrics' / 'Neurology' (Apr 2025), Volgograd Medical University 'Cardiology' (Feb 2025), Gnessin Academy 'Musicology' entrance (May 2025).
Why it matters
Continues Sber's pattern of using Russian university/professional exams to market GigaChat's domain competence — this time on InfoSec, where verifiable Russian-language regulatory and technical knowledge has direct enterprise value. The exam-pass marketing, combined with the fine-tune on 300k InfoSec documents, signals Sber's positioning of GigaChat as a B2B-consultant replacement for non-core info-sec questions rather than a general assistant.
