What Will Russia’s AI Development Support Law Deliver?
This summer, the adoption of legislation governing large foundation models has become the biggest news across Russia’s IT market. In July, Federal Law No. 243-FZ, “On Supporting the Development of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in the Russian Federation,” was signed into law. The legislation establishes a framework that will need to be fleshed out through implementing regulations. In practice, regulators will have to position AI policy on a spectrum with security at one end and active development at the other – balancing safeguards against the growth of a field poised to become the leading driver of technology and business over the next decade.

Foreign Git Platforms Are a Risk for Russian Companies. Here’s Why
Git long ago stopped being just a version-control system. The platform where your repositories live has become the center of engineering operations: source code, commit history, CI/CD pipelines, secrets, issue tracking, code reviews, build artifacts – everything flows into a single environment. Losing access to that platform is not an inconvenience. It is a development shutdown.

Tomato-Picking Robot Arm Aims to Take Over Harvesting Tasks
Anton Vlasenko, a student at the Information Technology Faculty of Novosibirsk State University, has developed an intelligent robotic manipulator designed to automate tomato harvesting in commercial greenhouses. Built using 3D-printed components, including a gearbox, articulated arm segments, brackets, and a gripper, the system can distinguish ripe tomatoes from unripe ones, track the ripening schedules of different varieties, and return later to fruit that is not yet ready for harvest.
