ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 4.​ Kazakhstan is
preparing for a new stage of digital development as Kazakhtelecom
becomes one of the first companies in Central Asia to deploy a
supercomputer for artificial intelligence (AI) advancement, Zhandos
Baidauletov, Head of the Sales Center for the company’s Digital
Business Division told Trend.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Digital Bridge 2025 forum,
Baidauletov noted that the new computing cluster, built on NVIDIA
H200 GPU servers, will be fully operational in October.

“We conducted monitoring and confirmed that the demand for
computing power in Kazakhstan is immense, from startups to the
banking, scientific, and educational sectors. AI development is
impossible without this infrastructure,” Baydauletov said.

The official emphasized that the supercomputer will form the
foundation of the national AI infrastructure, developed by
Kazakhtelecom under the directives of the head of state.

“These resources will enable the deployment and training of
language, speech, and video models, giving a significant boost to
digitalization in banking, transport, utilities, and other
industries,” he added.

Baidauletov also pointed out that the company is all in when it
comes to backing startups, rolling out the red carpet with access
to the resources they need to test the waters and put AI solutions
into action.

“We are confident that this will simplify life for Kazakh
citizens, from automating services to speeding up access to
information,” he said.

To note, the Digital Bridge Forum 2025, which commenced on
Thursday, October 2, sought to illuminate Kazakhstan’s expanding
influence in the realm of digital innovation, concurrently
establishing itself as a nexus for artificial intelligence (AI) and
avant-garde technologies.
