VEON has announced the launch of “AI Tutor”, a collaboration of Beeline Kazakhstan and Qazcode. AI Tutor is an AI-powered learning assistant designed to support children’s and adults’ learning experience in Kazakh language. Built on the locally developed KazLLM large language model, AI Tutor represents a step in digital inclusion and educational access in Kazakhstan.
Developed by QazCode, the VEON Group’s software development company in Kazakhstan and embedded in Beeline Kazakhstan’s super-app Janymda, AI Tutor taps into KazLLM to offer six engaging, gamified learning modules—Make a Sentence, Word Game, Find a Mistake, Continue a Story, Fill in the Blank, and Text Questions—guided by an intuitive virtual assistant. While the current modules focus on Kazakh language learning, the capabilities of AI Tutor will also be expanded into other disciplines.
KazLLM, the Kazakh-language large language model that Beeline Kazakhstan and QazCode created in partnership with the Institute of Smart Systems and Artificial Intelligence Nazarbayev University and Astana Hub with the coordination of the Kazakhstan Ministry of Digital Development, was launched in December 2024. Janymda, Beeline Kazakhstan’s super-app, reaches 4.9 million mobile users on a monthly active basis as of April 2025.
AI Tutor builds on QazCode’s growing expertise in AI products for both consumer and enterprise applications. The company previously developed Kaz-RoBERTA-conversational, the first Kazakh-language LLM with 2 billion parameters, now used to improve digital customer experiences. QazCode partners with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and GSMA Foundry to enhance its expertise and to contribute to the global knowledge on developing LLMs for low-resource languages, addressing the language gap in AI.
