BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Imagine your business operating at peak efficiency. Data is processed instantly, customer queries are resolved in seconds, and routine processes are automated. This is not a fantasy, but a reality that QazCode creates.

How Kazakhstan is leading the AI race: Breakthrough technologies at MWC 2025
In recent years, Kazakhstan has been actively developing its technology infrastructure, which has contributed to the growth of innovative companies and attracted investment in AI and other advanced technologies. The International Monetary Fund ranked Kazakhstan in the top 50 countries for AI readiness in 2023, ahead of all Central Asian countries.
Kazakhstan’s high position in the rating was the result of comprehensive efforts to develop the digital ecosystem, and QazCode‘s participation at MWC was another confirmation of the country’s success.
“Kazakhstan strives to be on par with the world leaders in digitalization by actively developing infrastructure, IT and human capital. We are pleased to present our achievements on the international platform of MWC, where we have the opportunity to demonstrate how our technologies help businesses optimize processes and reach new heights. It is also a great chance to build partnerships with industry leaders and share experiences to further develop the technology ecosystem in the regions,” said Oleksii Sharavar, CEO at QazCode.
The KAZ-LLM Big Language Model: a breakthrough in localized technology
One of the company’s significant projects was the development of the first national language model KAZ-LLM. The model was created in partnership with the Institute of Smart Systems and AI (ISSAI NU) and Astana Hub, under the coordination of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan. The project aims to bridge the gap for underrepresented language groups, making technology accessible to all.
Moreover, KAZ-LLM has already gained international recognition—it won the GSMA Foundry Excellence Award 2025 in the Artificial Intelligence category, confirming its high quality and importance for technological advancement.
The model, based on 150 billion tokens, covers Kazakh, Russian, English and Turkish and is considered a local version of GPT. The support of the computing power of 8 DGX H100 volume allowed to accelerate the learning process and analyze massive data sets in seconds.
The national model enables businesses to develop chatbots, customer support systems, automate document flow, and analyze data. For example, local banks will be able to speed up the processing of requests in the local language, and retailers will be able to improve the user experience by incorporating the model into their processes. Educational and scientific institutions will be able to create applications for teaching the local language.
QazCode collaborates with leading international organizations such as GSMA Foundry and Barcelona Supercomputing Center to share experiences and implement global best practices in AI.
Also in the summer of 2024, QazCode announced the creation of Central Asia’s first GPU cloud for the development of AI products based on NVIDIA technology.
AI as a tool for transformation
