Kazakh startup Cybernet AI has launched the largest native ASR model for 6 Turkic languages, including Kazakh and Turkish. Trained on Microsoft infrastructure, it natively processes mixed Turkic-Russian speech often missed by English-centric models. This shift for 160 million speakers marks a transition from tech consumption to regional sovereignty. As Kazakhstan declares 2026 the Year of AI, this foundation enables high-accuracy digital services and supports a $1B IT export goal. π
