Almaty is now home to the most powerful supercomputer in Central Asia — powered by NVIDIA H200 GPUs. The system is being assembled at Kazakhtelecom’s data center and will mark a significant milestone in Kazakhstan’s national digital infrastructure.
Kazakhtelecom CEO Bagdat Mussin announced: “The supercomputer has arrived. It will be fully operational in 10 days. This is a truly powerful system: 6.7 million CUDA cores, 1,600 petaflops of computing performance, and tens of terabytes of GPU memory.”
The computing power will enable breakthroughs in AI model training, smart city traffic simulation, disaster risk prediction, and full-scale AI product development within Kazakhstan — without relying on foreign data centers.
The system will also boost digital healthcare, helping analyze massive datasets for faster diagnostics and more accurate clinical decisions. Additionally, it will support Kazakh-language AI models that understand local context and culture.
Kazakhtelecom is now the first official NVIDIA partner in Central Asia, highlighting the region’s infrastructure readiness and trust from a global AI computing leader.
According to the Ministry of Digital Development, the supercomputer’s power exceeds 2 exaflops — a quintillion operations per second — making it one of the most powerful AI systems in Eurasia.
The computing resources will be available not only to government agencies and national companies but also to universities, research institutions, tech entrepreneurs, and startups across the country.
Kazakhstan has introduced a new customs exemption and tax-free import regime for high-tech equipment, making it an attractive hub for global IT firms and data centers.
This platform will become a cornerstone of Kazakhstan’s AI Development Strategy through 2029 and a foundation for long-term technological sovereignty.
