Firebird Launches CIS Region's Largest AI Factory in Armenia Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell and Rubin

Firebird has inaugurated what is described as the largest AI factory in the CIS region, located in Armenia, built on NVIDIA's latest Blackwell and Rubin GPU architectures alongside the DGX SuperPOD (DSX) platform. This represents a significant expansion of sovereign AI infrastructure into a region that has historically had limited access to frontier compute. The deployment signals growing demand for localized AI compute outside the US, EU, and East Asia — a trend with implications for data residency, latency-sensitive inference workloads, and regional model development. For developers building or deploying in the CIS region, this creates new options for on-premise or regionally hosted inference and training capacity. NVIDIA's continued role as the infrastructure backbone for new AI factories globally reinforces its position at the center of the AI compute supply chain.
