Lintasarta, the AI Factory of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating AI technology adoption and digital sovereignty through its participation in the NVIDIA GTC (GPU Technology Conference) Taipei 2025.

The event is part of the global COMPUTEX conference held in Taipei, Taiwan.

At this international forum, hosted by NVIDIA as a global leader in AI computing, Lintasarta introduced the “AI Merdeka” initiative.

The movement reflects the company’s commitment to driving digital transformation and achieving AI sovereignty in Indonesia.

Strategic Debut at NVIDIA GTC Taipei 2025

Bayu Hanantasena, President Director & CEO of Lintasarta, delivered a keynote session titled “Accelerating Enterprise AI Transformation in Indonesia”.

He highlighted Indonesia’s digital transformation through the synergy between NVIDIA’s advanced computing technologies and Lintasarta’s efforts to build a national AI ecosystem via AI Merdeka.

“Our participation at GTC Taipei reflects Lintasarta’s determination to deliver AI solutions relevant to Indonesia’s local context. Together with NVIDIA, Lintasarta is accelerating AI adoption to support inclusive, sovereign, and sustainable digitalization across strategic sectors,” said Bayu.

AI Merdeka: Localized AI Solutions for Strategic Sectors

Lintasarta, through AI Merdeka, presented several practical AI-based solutions designed to benefit both society and industry players.

One highlighted solution is Sahabat-AI, an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) developed with GoTo and Indosat, operating on GPU Merdeka.

Designed in Bahasa Indonesia and local dialects, Sahabat-AI supports voice dictation (Dira) in the GoPay app, becoming the first Indonesian-language AI voice assistant in the national fintech industry.

Olivia, a virtual AI assistant by Owlexa Healthcare, improves service speed by 60 times, handles 30 times more inquiries, and reduces call center operational costs by over 45%.

In the banking sector, AI Document Processing accelerates document verification and processing by up to 65%, enhancing front-office efficiency and regulatory compliance.

AI Talent Management, developed in collaboration with ESQ, uses AI to match employee competencies, potential, and cultural fit with a predictive accuracy rate of 99%.

GPU Merdeka: Building Indonesia’s Sovereign AI Cloud

As Indonesia’s first NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP), Lintasarta plays a strategic role in expanding access to advanced AI infrastructure through the Sovereign AI Cloud, GPU Merdeka.

This platform is built on NVIDIA’s leading technology and is positioned as Indonesia’s first supercomputing cloud platform.

Lintasarta currently provides early access to GPU Merdeka services for local developers, students and faculty, media, enterprise clients, partners, and government institutions committed to building national-scale AI use cases.

Lintasarta is also the first NCP in ASEAN to accelerate the development of next-generation generative AI and high-performance computing (HPC).

It has adopted NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and NIM microservices, which are now implemented in Deka LLM, Lintasarta’s LLM-as-a-Service.

Deka LLM is used across sectors including finance, natural resources, and the public sector.

Indonesia’s Digital Ambitions on the Global Stage

Lintasarta’s involvement in GTC Taipei represents more than corporate participation; it carries a mission to bring Indonesia’s digital sovereignty to the global arena.

The AI Merdeka initiative is not only a technological movement but a national campaign to position Indonesia as a producer and innovator in the global digital economy, in alignment with the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision.
