en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian state-owned telecom company Telebras is developing AI-focused infrastructure services, planning to offer GPU as a Service to federal, state, and municipal public administration bodies. The state-owned enterprise's president, Hermano Albuquerque, previewed this announcement at the Tech Gov Fórum Brasil, organized by Network Eventos in Brasília on June 11.

The service will be based on an integrated artificial intelligence center. Hermano Albuquerque stated that its differentiating advantage lies in allowing public agencies to budget for token usage. "The cost of AI is determined by the number of tokens, making it difficult to predict how many tokens AI will consume. Our solution will provide budget predictability for tokens." He also revealed that Telebras has established partnerships with hardware suppliers but will announce specific services only after signing initial contracts with public agencies, without providing a specific timeline. "We will launch as soon as possible."

When asked about Telebras' financial independence, Hermano Albuquerque said the state-owned listed company is about to announce its second-quarter results. "But I can say in advance that the results will be positive. We believe we can achieve independence from the federal budget before the five-year deadline set in our plan."

Hermano Albuquerque also addressed competition with Starlink in the low-orbit satellite services sector. He stated that Telebras is moving forward with partners and expects to see more competition in this field by the end of the year. "Starlink is doing a good job, but our responsibility is to bring data sovereignty across the country."
