ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 22. Kazakhstan has
launched a new AI-powered digital service in Shymkent to manage and
automate the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) across
the region, Trend
reports via the country's Ministry of Energy.
The initiative was reviewed during an on-site meeting in
Shymkent on May 22, 2026, which brought together officials from the
Shymkent city administration (akimat), the Ministry of Energy of
the Republic of Kazakhstan, local executive bodies, the Department
of Digitalization, and regional LPG market operators.
The digital service has entered pilot operation, utilizing an
integrated and trained Llama 3.1 (8B) large language model to
process and evaluate market applications for the second and third
quarters of the year. The specialized AI agent automatically scans,
analyzes, and cross-references uploaded documentation, including
supply contracts, electronic invoices (ESF), and accompanying
consignment notes for goods (SNT).
During the session, digital teams conducted technical briefings
for local officials and market participants, detailing application
submission rules, system functionality, and the parameters
governing the automated distribution algorithms.
The Ministry of Energy plans to use this informational service
and advanced AI framework to establish a transparent distribution
mechanism, aimed at stabilizing the fuel supply chains across all
regions of the country.
