Firebird.ai has launched its Armenian AI data centre, the largest such facility in the Caucasus region.
As the company begins building a global network of AI infrastructure powered by Nvidia technology, the new facility Nvidia DSX AI Factory, aims to make Armenia a major regional hub for AI computing.
At the opening, Firebird also announced that Nvidia intends to invest in the company, following an earlier investment from CoreWeave.
The investments are expected to help Firebird expand its infrastructure and build larger AI computing clusters in markets around the world.
“As AI becomes foundational infrastructure for every modern economy, countries need trusted partners who can deliver secure, scalable AI platforms fast, ” said Razmig Hovaghimian, Co-Founder and CEO of Firebird.
“Firebird combines proven execution, deep partnerships with NVIDIA and leading infrastructure providers, US regulatory expertise, and a growing international pipeline. Within two years, we expect our global AI infrastructure platform to reach about 2 GWs of capacity, enabling frontier markets to participate directly in the global AI economy.”
In Armenia, Firebird plans to expand the facility to more than 70,000 Nvidia Rubin and Blackwell GPUs by the end of 2027.
The company is also targeting 300 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity, which would make it one of Europe’s largest AI infrastructure platforms.
Firebird is also expanding into Kazakhstan, which has become its second market.
The company has secured 125 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity at Data Centre Valley, with the necessary approvals from the Government of Kazakhstan and export authorisation from the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security.
Nvidia founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, said: “AI factories are the infrastructure nations need to create intelligence, drive economic growth and compete in the age of AI.
“Together with Firebird, we are building AI infrastructure across Armenia and Kazakhstan that will give researchers, startups and industries the computing foundation to develop AI at home, attract innovators from around the world and participate in the global AI economy.”
