DeepAI Makes Advanced AI Adoption Plug-and-Play for Businesses of All Sizes — Instantly Scalable, Zero Friction KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”), through its subsidiary, V Gallant Sdn Bhd (“V Gallant”), today announced the official launch of DeepAI, a plug-and-play AI infrastructure platform designed to accelerate enterprise adoption of large language models (LLMs). V Gallant, the technology arm of VCI Global, is a leading provider of AI infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions.
