Yandex B2B Tech has unveiled YandexGPT 5.1 Pro, the latest iteration of its flagship AI tailored for business applications, marking a significant leap beyond a mere version bump.
Launched as part of their ongoing commitment to innovation, this update brings tangible enhancements designed to meet the demands of enterprise users.
The upgrades are impressive. YandexGPT 5.1 Pro now delivers concise, actionable responses that can be seamlessly integrated into reports or databases, eliminating the need to sift through verbose output. The model has improved across key business scenarios, including summarization, key point extraction, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and function calling. It’s also more reliable—when unsure, it candidly admits “I don’t know” rather than veering into hallucinations.
A stronger focus on Russian context, encompassing facts, culture, and history, enhances its relevance for local markets. Additionally, a refined system prompt allows users to lock the AI into specific roles—like a lawyer or consultant—keeping it on task and away from philosophical tangents.
The numbers back up the hype. YandexGPT 5.1 Pro outperforms its predecessor in 58% of cases and edges out OpenAI’s GPT-4.1 in 56% of scenarios, according to internal blind pairwise comparisons.
The quality of responses has risen to 71% “good” answers from 60%, while fabricated responses have dropped nearly in half to 16%. These metrics signal a robust step forward in accuracy and utility.

The real game-changer for businesses, however, is the pricing. The cost has been slashed to a third of its previous rate, now sitting at just 40 kopecks (approximately $0.004) per 1,000 tokens. This move makes YandexGPT 5.1 Pro an even more attractive option for companies looking to leverage AI without breaking the bank.
With its focus on practical business needs, improved performance, and wallet-friendly pricing, YandexGPT 5.1 Pro positions Yandex as a formidable player in the AI landscape, particularly for enterprises seeking a tailored, cost-effective solution.
