Indonesia's athletes concluded the 33rd SEA Games 2025 in Thailand with 91 gold, 111 silver, and 131 bronze medals, totaling 333 and placing second overall. Building on mid-event progress, the success is attributed to enhanced government support, including doubled gold bonuses from President Prabowo Subianto, boosting athlete morale.
The Ministry of Science and ICT has selected a consortium led by Motif Technologies Inc. as an additional participant in the project to develop homegrown artificial intelligence foundation models. The team, which includes the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), will compete with three previously shortlisted groups led by SK Telecom, LG AI Research, and Upstage. The government plans to choose two final winners by the end of the year.
