Freedom Holding Corp. Unveils $2B Sovereign AI Hub in Kazakhstan – NVIDIA-Powered Game Changer
Kazakhstan's tech landscape just got a $2 billion adrenaline shot. Freedom Holding Corp. is breaking ground on a sovereign AI hub—with NVIDIA's silicon muscle behind it.
Why it matters: This isn't just another data center. We're talking about a geopolitical chess move in the global AI arms race, bankrolled by one of Central Asia's financial heavyweights.
The hardware play: Expect next-gen NVIDIA GPUs to form the backbone. No details yet on whether they'll use H100s or whatever bleeding-edge tensor cores Jensen Huang is hawking by 2026.
The cynical take: Another 'sovereign' tech hub promising to rival Silicon Valley—just like the 17 others announced this quarter by countries chasing AI relevance. But hey, at least the consultants and hardware vendors will get paid.
