This lab marks the first collaboration between Telegram and the supercomputing cluster Alem.ai in Kazakhstan. Durov announced it during his speech at the Digital Bridge 2025 forum in Astana.
According to Telegram’s founder, the new development merges blockchain and AI technologies. It will first appear in Telegram’s mini-app ecosystem.
Durov also reminded the audience that Kazakhstan was the location of Telegram’s first regional office:
“We are launching a joint project between Telegram and Kazakhstan’s supercomputing cluster, initiated by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence. This technology will allow over a billion people to use AI functions confidentially, transparently, and efficiently. We hope Kazakhstan’s cluster becomes the first major provider of computing power for this network.”

One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. The regulator took order for the search and seizure operation from Judge Purushottam B Jadhav, Sebi Special Judge / Additional Sessions Judge. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. Sebi said data, emails and other documents are being retrieved from the seized devices and detailed investigation is in progress.
