Viettel AI
Vietnamese state-telecom AI arm behind the VT-Super-120B sovereign LLM, running Vietnam's first NVIDIA DGX B200 supercomputer.
Overview
Viettel AI is the artificial-intelligence unit of Vietnam's state-owned telecom group Viettel, pursuing a sovereign AI strategy with models trained on domestic data and infrastructure. Its VT-Super-120B (VT-Super-120B-A12B) is a Vietnamese LLM built on the open NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super architecture, ranking among the leading models at its scale on accuracy. In February 2026 Viettel began operating Vietnam's first NVIDIA DGX B200 supercomputer, later scaling to a cluster of 22 systems for AI development.

What you can produce with Viettel AI
- Use VT-Super-120B, a sovereign Vietnamese model trained on domestic data and infrastructure
- Run Vietnamese workloads under a state-telecom operator rather than a foreign cloud
- Build on Vietnam's first NVIDIA DGX B200 supercomputer
- Buy it as an enterprise or state programme, which is how it is sold
- Judge it on press coverage and benchmark discussion — there is no self-serve community to review
- Ask about access terms directly, since there is no public signup path
ASEAN Perspective
Viettel AI in Southeast Asia
Viettel's programme is the clearest statement of sovereign-AI intent in Vietnam, because it owns the whole stack rather than renting it. The AI unit sits inside the state-owned telecom group, VT-Super-120B is trained on domestic data, and since February 2026 Viettel has run Vietnam's first NVIDIA DGX B200, later scaling to a 22-system cluster. The in-country cluster is regionally significant. Most ASEAN sovereign-model efforts rent frontier compute abroad; owning the hardware changes the kinds of commitments a government can make. The flip side is that this is a state-enterprise programme, so there is no self-serve access and the published evidence is largely Viettel's own.
What this is for: A sovereign Vietnamese LLM and AI infrastructure programme aimed at enterprise and public-sector deployments processing sensitive data domestically.
Who this is for: Large Vietnamese enterprises, government bodies and Viettel's own platform customers.
Availability: Enterprise/platform offering tied to Viettel's infrastructure; not an open or self-serve consumer product, access is limited.
What people say
Viettel AI is an enterprise/state programme, so there's no G2 listing, app rating or self-serve community to review — the signal is press coverage and benchmark disclosures, and here it's heavily Vietnamese-language and largely originating from Viettel and national outlets. Its VT-Super-120B-A12B model (built on NVIDIA's open Nemotron Super architecture) received wide coverage across Vietnamese tech and business press in mid-2026 as a landmark sovereign-AI milestone.
The concrete benchmark claim is a reported ~85.47 average on the Vietnamese VLMU evaluation — described as third among Vietnamese models, with STEM scores above 89 — while preserving English performance and limiting catastrophic forgetting. NVIDIA executives publicly endorsed the effort, and the accompanying story is as much about infrastructure: Viettel running Vietnam's first DGX B200 systems, later a 22-node cluster.
Read the reception with caution. Much of the praise is national-champion framing from domestic media and the company itself; independent, third-party benchmarking is essentially absent, and "third among Vietnamese models" is a narrow field. Access is enterprise/platform-gated rather than open, so outside developers can't easily verify the claims, and the model is very new (early 2026) with little track record in production beyond Viettel's own stack.
