Sahabat-AI is not just a technological achievement; it embodies Indonesia’s vision for a future where digital sovereignty and inclusivity go hand in hand. By creating an AI model that speaks our language and reflects our culture, we empower every Indonesian to harness advanced technology's potential. This initiative is a crucial step towards democratizing AI as a tool for growth, innovation, and empowerment across our diverse society.

— Vikram Sinha, President Director and Chief Executive Officer, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison

If telcos start converting network exchanges into compute locations—colocating GPUs and compute at the exchanges—that becomes a goldmine for telcos to enable latency-sensitive AI use cases, such as large language models… Telcos, with their ownership of server networks and fixed networks, can ensure secure transit of data from one source to the other destination. This plays a critical role in governments adopting AI applications at country scale.

— Manoj Prasanna Kumar, Head – Enterprise Platforms, Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel)

Everyone talks about generative AI, but the gap between expectations and reality is tremendous. A customer must be sure what happens with its data, where it happens, and how it happens. Switzerland, with its many multinational organizations, needs trusted and unique sovereign building blocks for AI. That’s where we step in. We’re developing it together in a reliable and secure manner, with a distinct Swiss flavor, hand in hand with our collaborator partner, NVIDIA.

— Christoph Aeschlimann, CEO, Swisscom

At Jio, we’re committed to fueling India’s technology renaissance by democratizing access to cutting-edge technologies, and our collaboration with NVIDIA is a significant step in this direction. Together, we will develop a state-of-the-art AI cloud infrastructure that’s secure, sustainable, and deeply relevant across India, accelerating the nation’s journey
toward becoming an AI powerhouse.

— Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries

Our collaboration with NVIDIA will help our infrastructure achieve a significantly higher performance with the utilization of AI, including optimization of the RAN. We expect it can also help us reduce energy consumption and create a network of interconnected data centers that can be used to share resources and host a range of generative AI applications.

— Junichi Miyakawa, President and CEO, SoftBank Corp.
