NVIDIA said Kazakhtelecom, Kazakhstan’s largest telecommunications company, has deployed 400 NVIDIA H200 and 480 NVIDIA B300 GPUs in Astana and Almaty, with plans to deploy more than 1,000 additional GPUs at each of two further sites next year. The figures appeared in an October 22, 2026 post bylined to NVIDIA Vice President Rev Lebaredian and published in the company’s GTC Berlin news sequence.
Deployed and Planned GPU Capacity
The post described Kazakhtelecom as the nation’s largest telecommunications company and stated it has already deployed 400 H200 and 480 B300 GPUs across the two cities. Next year, the company plans to deploy more than 1,000 GPUs in the Data Center Valley, along with more than 1,000 NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs in the Ekibastuz region. According to NVIDIA, that infrastructure is intended to serve diverse workloads that enterprises, developers and institutions can use at scale.
Lebaredian’s post framed the announcements as evidence that Kazakhstan’s AI ecosystem is moving from infrastructure planning to deployment, spanning what NVIDIA describes as the full AI stack: infrastructure, models and applications. More local capacity, the post stated, gives developers and companies room to train, fine-tune and serve increasingly capable models, with successful applications in turn creating demand for more compute.
