What the English version leaves out.
Parallel Frontier is a biweekly intelligence report on China's and Russia's AI ecosystems, read in the original. Each issue works a single primary source, a regulation, a paper, a lab release or a piece of discourse, in the language it was written in. It is written for people who follow these systems professionally and need the source, not a recap, which is why it runs long and close to the text.
Primary sources, every two weeks, read in the language in which they were written.
The Iron Heart
Ukrainian drones struck three supercomputers in two buildings, the physical core of Russia's "sovereign" AI. Online, the strikes were recast as a story of Ukraine silencing Russia's bots, a claim the record does not support and one far smaller than the real blow to the machines that train Russian AI. The graver threat to Yandex now comes not from Kyiv but from a Russian law that lets the state seize infrastructure it cannot defend.
