Summary

  • Firebird opened the CIS region’s biggest AI factory in Hrazdan, Armenia, creating a new regional compute hub built on NVIDIA accelerated computing and Dell PowerEdge servers.
  • More than 70,000 NVIDIA Rubin and Blackwell GPUs and 300 megawatts of capacity are planned by end-2027, giving Armenian startups, universities, enterprises and public institutions domestic AI training and deployment capacity.
  • Built on NVIDIA’s DSX platform, the site is designed to run up to 40% more GPUs in the same footprint, with Schneider Electric supplying power systems and Vertiv providing chilled-water cooling and controls.
  • NVIDIA also said it intends to invest in Firebird after CoreWeave backed the company earlier this year, supporting an approximately 2-gigawatt roadmap across Armenia, Kazakhstan and other markets.
  • Delivered in just over six months, the project underscores how frontier markets in the CIS region are racing to attract global AI workloads while building local-language and national-priority AI capacity.
