The AI startup Firebird obtained approval from the US government to export Nvidia chips to Armenia for the country's supercomputer project, which is part of the global push to build AI infrastructure. Nvidia announced the plan in June this year, aiming to construct the first large-scale AI data center in the region. The project involves an initial investment of $500 million and a total capacity of 100 MW, utilizing Dell Technologies' AI servers and Nvidia's Blackwell processors. Firebird CEO and co-founder Razmig Hovaghimian stated that the first phase is expected to be put into use in Q2 next year. Firebird is one of many Nvidia partners seeking to establish high-performance data centers in remote areas to promote the adoption of AI and its supporting computing infrastructure.
