Firebird, an emerging AI cloud, launched the CIS region’s largest AI factory in Armenia, establishing a new AI computing hub powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and Dell Technologies high-performance AI infrastructure. Nikol Pashinyan, prime minister of the Republic of Armenia; Zhaslan Madiyev, deputy prime minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan; and David Allen, U.S. chargé d’affaires, a.i. in Armenia, attended the opening ceremony. Firebird 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. Built on the NVIDIA DSX platform, the factory can run up to 40% more GPUs on the same footprint. Firebird is pursuing an approximately 2-gigawatt AI infrastructure roadmap spanning Armenia, Kazakhstan and additional markets. NVIDIA intends to invest in the company, following an earlier investment by CoreWeave this year. Delivered in just over six months, the Armenia AI factory is located in Hrazdan, with Schneider Electric providing power infrastructure, including medium- and low-voltage switchgear, three-phase uninterruptible power supply systems and rack enclosures.
