VEON’s Beeline Kazakhstan and its software company QazCode, in collaboration with the Government of Kazakhstan and Nazarbayev University, have developed an open-source Kazakh-language large language model (Kaz-LLM). This project accelerates the adoption of AI-powered products while addressing the the global challenge on the AI language gap for low-resource languages . With over 150 billion tokens collected, curated, synthesized, and translated, the Kaz-LLM interacts seamlessly in Kazakh, Turkish, English, and Russian. The project received technical support from Foundry strategic partners Barcelona Supercomputer (BSC).
