Armenia backed a private AI factory in Hrazdan with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, reported to have opened in August 2026 after a US export authorisation for the chips.

The Ministry of High-Tech Industry describes the Firebird AI centre near Hrazdan as a public-private project, with a strategic agreement signed in Washington on 8 August 2025. The ministry's June 2026 figures for phase one were over 6,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and 18 MW. Reported: the Cabinet discussed the project in June 2025, and Armenpress said Armenia was ready to provide up to 100 MW of power for it. Reported in November 2025: Firebird had received a US export authorisation for the chips. Reported: the facility opened on 8 August 2026.
