AI industry: How Trump's Nvidia deal is turning Armenia into an AI hotspot

Armenia is emerging as a key location for American AI infrastructure. A data center by US startup Firebird, founded by individuals with Armenian roots, has begun operations in Hrazdan, about 45 kilometers from the capital Yerevan. The center is expected to grow to 300 megawatts and over 70,000 Nvidia chips by the end of next year, with one-fifth of its computing power reserved for Armenia's research, government, and local startups.

The facility is set to become one of the largest computing clusters in the region and could rank among the biggest in Europe.
