Firebird recently launched a large-scale NVIDIA DSX AI factory in Hrazdan, Armenia, marking the operational debut of its global AI infrastructure platform and establishing the country as a new strategic hub for AI computing.
Firebird also announced that NVIDIA intends to invest in the company, following an earlier investment by CoreWeave this year. These investments will help Firebird expand its global infrastructure and operational footprint and support its efforts to establish the largest and most advanced compute clusters across frontier markets.
Building on this foundation, the Firebird Armenian AI factory announced a roadmap to scale beyond 70,000 NVIDIA Rubin and Blackwell GPUs by the end of 2027, expanding the platform to 300 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity and positioning the project among Europe’s largest AI infrastructure platforms and one of the world’s most significant AI computing hubs.
Built using the NVIDIA DSX AI Factory reference design and interconnected with NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, Firebird’s AI factory is designed to improve the economics of AI infrastructure — supporting up to 40 percent more GPUs within the same footprint and maximizing the value of each megawatt.
Firebird’s expansion strategy already extends beyond Armenia. Kazakhstan has become the company’s second market, where Firebird has secured 125 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity at Data Center Valley, supported by the necessary approvals from the Government of Kazakhstan and export authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
Together with several additional frontier markets currently under development, Firebird is targeting two gigawatts of AI infrastructure capacity by the end of 2028, establishing itself as one of the world’s fastest-growing AI infrastructure networks.
“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, U.S. 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.”
Firebird also announced Perplexity as one of its first customers. Perplexity will access Firebird’s high-performance AI infrastructure to support its answer engine and AI-powered digital coworker platform. This collaboration represents an important step in attracting leading AI-native companies to Armenia and strengthening the country’s growing technology and startup ecosystem.
