Sber unveils GigaChat 3.5 Ultra: the model writes code better, handles agent-based tasks, and works with long texts
Russians now have access to the new flagship model, GigaChat 3.5 Ultra . It has become smarter, generates long text up to four times faster, consumes fewer resources, and is nearly half as compact as the previous version. The updated model handles tasks related to coding, mathematics, working with long texts, and autonomous agent scenarios more effectively. The model is based on a proprietary domestic architecture featuring linear attention technology, developed by Sber’s team. The improved model is available to anyone. In the GigaChat AI assistant, it is accessible to all users who want to apply AI for personal and work-related tasks. In open source, it is freely available to developers worldwide for integration into their services and for building AI agents. What GigaChat 3.5 Ultra can do Coding and mathematics —the model generates and verifies code with greater confidence, solves mathematical problems and financial calculations with higher accuracy, and handles numbers more reliably. Responses have become more precise, better structured, and easier to understand. All of this enables the model to be integrated into the real-world workflows of developers, analysts, and engineers. Reading and analyzing long texts —it efficiently analyzes contracts, technical regulations, reports, and other lengthy documents without losing accuracy or context. Thanks to the linear attention architecture, it does not re-read the text from the beginning each time; instead, it gradually accumulates context, much like a person who remembers the gist of a conversation. The speed of working with long texts has increased up to fourfold. Autonomy and AI agents —you can assign a task to the model, and it will independently find information, write and execute code, access the required service, and return a ready-made result. This makes it possible to automate routine tasks: monitoring, data processing, and scheduled report generation. In tests measuring the AI’s ability to solve programming tasks, mathematical problems, complex multi-step assignments, and the quality of Russian-language dialog, GigaChat 3.5 Ultra outperformed Sber’s previous flagship model. And in several metrics, it came close to the results of strong open models, such as DeepSeek 3.2, while being nearly half as compact. Anton Frolov, senior vice president, head of GenAI Development, Sberbank: “We are living in a time when the gap between human capabilities and AI potential is shrinking rapidly. GigaChat 3.5 Ultra is our step toward what an AI tool for real-world tasks should be: a full-fledged partner capable of thinking within the logic of a specific process, not just answering questions. To develop such a model, you need to constantly experiment and try things no one has done before—the number of our experiments has more than doubled, reaching 1,500. We have proven that it is possible to build a strong model using a proprietary architecture and with fundamentally fewer resources. We want our solutions to become the foundation for new products and research that go far beyond Sber.” GigaChat 3.5 Ultra is fully Sber’s brainchild: the team created a unique architecture leveraging linear attention technology. Unlike the classic attention mechanism in AI models, which re-checks each new word against the entire preceding text every time, linear attention memorizes the essence of what has been read once and then simply adds to that memory—roughly like a person who keeps a brief summary of a book in mind rather than flipping back to the first page with every new page. GigaChat 3.5 Ultra is one of the largest models with linear attention among those released in open source. During training, the focus was on natural, human-generated texts that underwent multi-level classification and filtering. The expanded dataset collected enabled the achievement of better metrics. The model follows a MoE (Mixture of Experts) architecture and is approximately half the size of the previous GigaChat Ultra version, which reduces computational resource consumption and allows it to be deployed on more affordable hardware—meaning more companies and developers will be able to run the model independently. PJSC Sberbank is Russia’s largest bank and a leading global financial institution. Holding almost one-third of aggregate Russian banking sector assets, Sberbank is the key lender to the national economy and one of the biggest deposit takers in Russia. The Government of the Russian Federation represented by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation is the principal shareholder of PJSC Sberbank owning 50% plus one voting share of the bank’s authorized capital, with the remaining 50% minus one voting share held by domestic and international investors. It holds general banking license No. 1481 dd. August 11, 2015, from the Bank of Russia. Official websites of the bank: www.sberbank.com (Sberbank Group website), www.sberbank.ru.

Designed with identical exterior dimensions to the GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR, enabling the use of shared accessories for seamless rig setups. In addition, the operability of zoom and focus functions is standardized between the two lenses. *4 The distance between the teeth on the gear engraved on the operation ring (3) Outstanding rendering performance backed by advanced optical design technology Nano GI coating technology is used to suppress flare and ghosting caused by light entering the lens from oblique angles, reducing reflection loss and improving light transmittance for clear rendering performance. By optimizing the internal structure of the lens barrel and the position of optical elements, sudden changes in angle of view (breathing) during focusing are suppressed, enhancing compositional stability. A 13-blade aperture is adopted to achieve a nearly circular aperture shape. This maintains the roundness of bokeh even when slightly stopped down, allowing for beautiful bokeh effects using point light sources in dim indoor or outdoor settings. (4) Powerful image stabilization and fast, smooth, high-precision AF Improves image stabilization performance by enhancing motion-sensing accuracy and optimizing the stabilization mechanism, enabling dynamic imagery that fully leverages the distinctive perspective of a wide-angle lens in handheld shooting, including when using a gimbal. By directly driving the motors at high speed in response to the operation of the focus, zoom, and iris rings, both responsiveness to ring operation and indicator position accuracy are achieved at a high level.

Strata Office Portfolio at Riverfront High Street Centre for Sale
CBRE, as the exclusive marketing agent, is pleased to present for sale a 14-unit strata office portfolio spanning Level 8 and part of Level 9 at High Street Centre, located at 1 North Bridge Road. The sale will be conducted via an Expression of Interest (EOI) exercise, which will close on Tuesday, 18 August 2026 at 3pm. Spanning a total strata area of 9,300 sq ft, the portfolio comprises an entire floorplate of ten units on Level 8, alongside four additional units on Level 9. The units feature regular and efficient layouts, complemented by views of the Singapore River and the city skyline. Their versatile configuration provides flexibility to accommodate a range of occupancy and leasing strategies, including multi-tenancy arrangements. The portfolio is currently fully leased to an established co-working operator, providing incoming investors with an immediate and stable income stream. Strategically located within Singapore’s Civic District, High Street Centre enjoys a prominent riverfront position along the Singapore River, between the vibrant Clarke Quay lifestyle precinct and the Raffles Place financial district. Beyond its attractive cashflow profile, the portfolio also presents a rare opportunity to acquire a prime office asset with significant long-term collective sale potential. High Street Centre is within walking distance of three MRT stations, namely City Hall Interchange, Clarke Quay and Fort Canning, providing access to four major MRT lines. Connectivity is further enhanced by an underground pedestrian link to City Hall MRT via the nearby Funan development. In addition, the property offers more than 300 parking lots, a rare feature for commercial assets in the area and one that is highly sought after by occupiers. Clemence Lee, Executive Director of Capital Markets, Singapore at CBRE , notes, “Positive momentum continues to build in Singapore’s core CBD office market, with rents rising for five consecutive quarters amid resilient occupier demand and tightening vacancy. With an anticipated supply crunch, CBRE forecasts CBD office rents could increase by 18% to 20% by 2030. This portfolio is being launched at an opportune time for office investors seeking to leverage on this rental upside, as well as occupiers looking to secure space ahead of further rental growth. Its prime riverfront location, attractive views, efficient floorplates and generous car park provision have traditionally drawn strong leasing interest from office occupiers. Full-floor strata offices in the CBD remain exceptionally scarce. Limited stock, coupled with URA restrictions on new strata subdivisions, continues to constrain future supply. This presents a compelling opportunity for both yield-focused investors and forward-looking owner-occupiers to acquire a prime strata office portfolio in a tightening market.” The portfolio is offered with an indicative guide price of S$17.8 million, or approximately S$1,913 psf based on the existing strata area. As this is a commercial property, foreigners are eligible to purchase, and there will be no Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) or Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) imposed on the transaction.

Atturra has just marked the tenth anniversary of a successful relationship with Boomi, the data activation company. The engagement, which started in 2016, is one of the longest-running strategic partnerships for Atturra and includes the delivery of a wide range of services and solutions, including best-in-class cloud-based integration and data and application management, to help enterprises remove their organisational silos. Just last month, Atturra won four FY26 Boomi APJ Partner of the Year awards at Boomi World held in Chicago, taking home APJ Partner of the Year, ANZ Partner of the Year, Global Growth Partner of the Year, and Greater China Partner of the Year. This latest recognition is a continuation of a strong awards track record with Boomi over the years, reflecting the company’s consistent investment in the partnership. Alongside this, Atturra has continued to expand its global Boomi footprint, including a targeted push into the US with the acquisition of Kitepipe, an established Boomi Platinum Partner. In addition, Atturra has been honoured in recent years to participate in the Boomi Global Partner Council, where it has early access to Boomi’s product roadmap, advises on any solution and service gaps, supports targets for marketing campaigns, and provides input into education enablement materials. Today, Atturra has the largest team of Boomi-certified consultants across Asia-Pacific. “Atturra’s commitment and deep technical expertise have been pivotal in our journey towards creating a successful relationship with Boomi, said Jason Frost , Executive General Manager – Data and Integration at Atturra. “We’ve ultimately co-created a shared future through relationships and investments that have ignited mutual growth. “From building API strategy and iPaaS modernisation to iPaaS migration and Reference Architecture strategy, we’ve been able to deliver best-in-class solutions and services for Boomi customers across a range of vertical markets. The last 10 years have certainly been a rewarding journey, and it’s exciting to see this relationship grow beyond the contract to one where we have been able to deliver unique value consistently to Boomi users throughout the region, and now globally.” Today, Atturra has a team of more than 300 Boomi data consultants with experience of delivering over 1,250 projects for more than 400 clients across integration excellence, iPaaS migration, API strategy, data activation, as well as hosting and monitoring solutions for Boomi. “Atturra’s decade-long partnership with Boomi reflects the power of combining deep technical expertise with a shared commitment to deliver business outcomes for our customers,” said Jim Fisher, Vice President of Channels & Partners, APJ at Boomi. “Their continued investment in integration, data, and AI capabilities, alongside a strong track record of delivery, has made them a critical partner in helping organisations activate their data and scale agentic transformation. As we look ahead, we are excited to deepen this collaboration and bring even greater value to customers across APJ and globally.” Frost added, “Whereas in the past we were experts at moving data for automation, customers now need to move data with both logic and automation. As part of this, agentic AI will ultimately support data-driven automation decisions, since it will run only on high-quality data. With the winning combination of our data consulting expertise and Boomi’s data solutions, we’re in an exciting position to accelerate our integration business because of the need for data readiness for successful AI . “A true partner invests and believes in their vendor’s story. As a solution-selling business with a client-centric approach, Atturra is well-positioned for sustained growth and profitability with our Boomi business. The combination of our strong financial performance, growing market presence, and differentiated product offering provides us with confidence in our ability to deliver value for Boomi customer success, and we look forward to mutually driving innovation forward in the years ahead.”

In New South Wales, the Greta Rural Fire Brigade will strengthen its emergency response capability through new lighting and fan equipment, improving safety for volunteers and the communities they serve. In South Australia, funding will support the Roxby Downs Scout Group to deliver programs that help young people build skills, confidence and stronger community connections.

EVT leads AI search with launch of EVT Hotels & Resorts app in ChatGPT
EVT Hotels & Resorts has become the first ANZ hotel group to launch its app in ChatGPT, enabling travellers to discover hotels, explore room options, access property information and begin the booking journey directly within AI-powered conversations. The launch represents the latest step in EVT's digital evolution as the business positions its hotel portfolio for the next generation of online discovery. EVT has invested in a dedicated property data hub across its hotel portfolio, designed specifically for AI systems. The initiative provides structured, machinereadable hotel and room data that allows AI platforms to better understand, surface and recommend EVT properties within conversational search experiences. As consumer behaviour shifts from traditional search engines to AI-assisted discovery, EVT is actively reshaping how its brands appear across the sources and platforms trusted by leading AI models. Andrew Turner, EVT Group General Manager of Technology and Digital, said the launch reflects EVT's focus on innovating and adapting to changing guest behaviours, to ensure its brands remain visible where travellers are increasingly seeking inspiration and information. "The way travellers discover and evaluate hotels is evolving rapidly. AI-powered search and conversational experiences are becoming an important part of the customer journey, and we see a significant opportunity to ensure our brands and properties are represented accurately and effectively in these environments." The initiative has included the development of structured hotel content, optimisation of how information appears in AI-generated responses, and ongoing monitoring of how leading AI models reference and recommend EVT brands. Unlike traditional search optimisation, EVT is actively analysing thousands of AIgenerated responses to understand how different models interpret and surface hotel information, providing valuable insights that can be incorporated back into its content and data strategy. "For years the focus has been on where a brand ranks in search results. The emerging question is why an AI model would recommend a particular hotel in the first place. That requires a different approach to content, data and digital visibility, and we're investing accordingly," said Turner. Through the ChatGPT app, guests can: Discover EVT Hotels & Resorts properties through natural language conversations Explore room types and property information Ask questions before or during their stay Begin the booking journey directly from within ChatGPT The launch reinforces EVT's broader commitment to innovation and delivering seamless, technology-enabled guest experiences across its portfolio.
