Details
- Firebird opened what it says is the CIS region’s largest AI factory in Armenia, creating a new regional AI computing hub.
- The launch involves Firebird, NVIDIA, Dell Technologies, Schneider Electric, and Vertiv, with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and other officials attending the opening.
- The facility is built on NVIDIA’s accelerated-computing stack and Dell PowerEdge servers, with Schneider Electric supplying power infrastructure and Vertiv providing cooling systems.
- Firebird says it plans to deploy more than 70,000 NVIDIA Rubin and Blackwell GPUs and 300 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity in Armenia by the end of 2027.
- Earlier reporting and company disclosures indicate the project began as a $500 million first phase in 2025, with a larger multi-billion-dollar expansion plan aimed at scaling Armenia’s AI capacity and regional reach.
Impact
The launch reinforces a broader global race to build sovereign and regional AI infrastructure, especially in markets seeking local compute for language, research, and industrial use cases. If Firebird reaches its planned scale, Armenia could become a notable hub for AI training and inference in the Caucasus, while also attracting developers and enterprise demand into NVIDIA- and Dell-centered ecosystems.
