Several calculations of the Asymptotic Giant Branch star evolution have been performed with the aim of explaining the synthesis of interstellar 26Al in these stars. The agreement of theoretically calculated mass of interstellar 26Al and observations is rather satisfactory, the best for the abrupt tenfold jump in the mass-loss rate for the stars reaching the luminosity log(L/L) ⋍ 4.0.
