Vietnam AI and machine learning outsourcing is one of the fastest-growing technology categories in Asia, accelerated by national investment in AI research, partnerships with NVIDIA and major cloud providers, and a rapidly expanding pool of data scientists, ML engineers, and AI engineers. FPT Software achieved 100% AI proficiency across its engineering teams in 2025, and Vietnamese AI companies now build generative AI products, LLM-powered applications, computer vision systems, natural language processing tools, and recommendation engines for global clients.
Vietnamese AI/ML companies specialise in custom model development, fine-tuning of open and commercial foundation models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, vector database design, MLOps and model deployment, AI agent and workflow automation, and high-quality data annotation and labelling services for training data. Industries served include fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, logistics, manufacturing, and edtech. Rates for AI/ML engineers run $35β$70 per hour, well below US and EU benchmarks while delivering increasingly comparable quality.
