Kazakhstan has signed an agreement with Presight AI to create a supercomputer
According to the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan, on February 12, Kazakh Minister Bagdat Mussin, the Samruk Kazyna Sovereign Wealth Fund, and Presight AI signed an agreement with the United Arab Emirates' Presight AI Holding. This agreement outlines the basic terms for the creation of a supercomputer in Kazakhstan and the construction of a corresponding Data Processing Center (DPC).
The project will be implemented in two phases. The first phase involves integrating computing power into the existing e-government infrastructure, while the second phase includes constructing a new Data Processing Center (DPC) with substantial computing capabilities.
Minister Mussin emphasized the importance of developing the Kazakh Large Language Model (LLM) to facilitate the widespread use of AI across various economic sectors, e-government services, and to provide access to computing power for startups, institutes, and research centers in Kazakhstan.
One successful case in the market is the domestic platform Cerebra, which offers accelerated automated stroke diagnosis. After successful trials in Kazakhstan, the project expanded to the Uzbekistan market.
Higgsfield AI has developed an advanced system that assists scientists and engineers in training highly complex computer models. Other mature companies involved in AI implementation include ForUS.Data, GoatChat.AI, AI Labs, and Sergek Group.
The launch of the supercomputer will greatly benefit industries such as IT, financial services, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, education, and e-government. It will position Kazakhstan as a regional leader in AI advancement and allow neighboring countries to rent computing power.(Source:astanatimes)
The agreement was signed following President Tokayev's instructions, highlighting the importance of creating a high-performance supercomputer accessible not only to researchers but also to businesses operating in Kazakhstan.
A supercomputer is a high-performance computer capable of solving complex problems that require extensive data processing and computational operations. It can execute trillions or quadrillions of computational tasks.
