Firebird在亚美尼亚启动独联体最大AI工厂
Firebird Launches CIS Region’s Largest AI Factory in Armenia
The global buildout of AI infrastructure reached a new milestone today — Firebird, an emerging AI cloud, launched the CIS region’s largest AI factory in Armenia, establishing a new AI computing hub powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and Dell Technologies high-performance AI infrastructure.
全球人工智能基础设施的建设今天达到了一个新的里程碑——新兴人工智能云服务商 Firebird 在亚美尼亚启动了独联体地区最大的人工智能工厂,建立了一个由 NVIDIA 加速计算和 Dell Technologies 高性能人工智能基础设施驱动的新的人工智能计算中心。
Nikol Pashinyan, prime minister of the Republic of Armenia; Zhaslan Madiyev, deputy prime minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan; and David Allen, U.S. chargé d`affaires, a.i. in Armenia, attended the AI factory opening ceremony.
亚美尼亚共和国总理尼科尔·帕希尼扬、哈萨克斯坦共和国副总理扎斯兰·马迪耶夫以及美国驻亚美尼亚临时代办戴维·艾伦出席了人工智能工厂的开幕仪式。
AI factories are the foundational infrastructure for the AI era, providing the computing capacity needed to train, fine-tune and deploy AI models for every domain at scale.
人工智能工厂是人工智能时代的基础设施,为大规模训练、微调和部署各领域的人工智能模型提供所需的计算能力。
Building the Infrastructure to Create Intelligence at Home
建设基础设施,在本土创造智能
While AI services are available globally, countries also need the capacity to develop and run AI for their own languages, industries and national priorities. Firebird’s AI factory brings that capacity to Armenia, giving developers, startups, enterprises, universities and public institutions the compute to build and scale AI at home.
虽然人工智能服务在全球范围内可用,但各国也需要具备为本国语言、产业和国家优先事项开发和运行人工智能的能力。Firebird 的人工智能工厂将这种能力带到了亚美尼亚,为开发者、初创企业、企业、大学和公共机构提供了在本土构建和扩展人工智能的计算能力。
Firebird plans to deploy more than 70,000 NVIDIA Rubin and Blackwell GPUs and 300 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity in Armenia by the end of 2027, accelerating the country’s development as a center for AI research, advanced computing and innovation.
Firebird 计划到 2027 年底在亚美尼亚部署超过 70,000 个 NVIDIA Rubin 和 Blackwell GPU 以及 300 兆瓦的人工智能基础设施容量,加速该国成为人工智能研究、先进计算和创新的中心。
At this scale, energy efficiency is essential. Built on the NVIDIA DSX platform, this AI factory integrates accelerated computing, networking, power and cooling as one codesigned system. Firebird’s AI factory is designed from the ground up to turn compute into revenue. With DSX, it can run up to 40% more GPUs on the same footprint, producing more tokens per dollar and extracting more value from every megawatt of capacity.
在这种规模下,能源效率至关重要。该人工智能工厂基于 NVIDIA DSX 平台构建,将加速计算、网络、电源和冷却集成到一个协同设计的系统中。Firebird 的人工智能工厂从零开始设计,旨在将计算转化为收入。借助 DSX,它可以在相同的占地面积上运行多达 40% 更多的 GPU,每美元产生更多 token,并从每兆瓦容量中提取更多价值。
A Magnet for Global AI, a Catalyst for Local Innovation
全球人工智能的磁石,本地创新的催化剂
Firebird’s ambitions extend beyond a single site. With NVIDIA’s support, the company is pursuing an approximately 2-gigawatt AI infrastructure roadmap spanning Armenia, Kazakhstan and additional markets.
Firebird 的雄心不仅限于单个站点。在 NVIDIA 的支持下,该公司正在推进一项约 2 吉瓦的人工智能基础设施路线图,覆盖亚美尼亚、哈萨克斯坦和其他市场。
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.
Firebird 还宣布,NVIDIA 打算投资该公司,此前 CoreWeave 已于今年早些时候进行了投资。这些投资将帮助 Firebird 扩大其全球基础设施和运营足迹,并支持其在前沿市场建立最大、最先进的计算集群的努力。
Delivered in just over six months, the Armenia AI factory demonstrates Firebird’s ability to turn ambitious infrastructure plans into operational AI capacity with exceptional speed.
亚美尼亚AI工厂在短短六个多月内交付,展示了Firebird将雄心勃勃的基础设施计划转化为可运营AI能力的速度之快。
Schneider Electric provides the power infrastructure supporting Firebird’s AI factory in Hrazdan, helping Firebird meet its accelerated deployment schedule by rapidly delivering and setting up critical systems, including medium- and low-voltage switchgear, three-phase uninterruptible power supply systems and rack enclosures. This keeps the power buildout moving at the pace of the compute and provides a reliable foundation to bring NVIDIA accelerated computing online at scale.
施耐德电气为Firebird位于拉兹丹的AI工厂提供电力基础设施,通过快速交付和安装关键系统(包括中低压开关设备、三相不间断电源系统和机架式机柜),帮助Firebird满足其加速部署的时间表。这使电力建设与计算速度保持同步,并为大规模上线NVIDIA加速计算提供了可靠的基础。
To support the facility’s thermal needs, Vertiv provided a cooling architecture combining chilled-water technology, advanced controls and Vertiv TrimCooler technology for efficient heat rejection. Vertiv’s iCOM CWM Chilled Water Manager centrally coordinates cooling resources, improving visibility, efficiency and responsiveness as demand shifts with AI workloads.
为了满足设施的散热需求,维谛技术提供了结合冷冻水技术、先进控制和维谛TrimCooler技术的冷却架构,以实现高效排热。维谛的iCOM CWM冷冻水管理器集中协调冷却资源,随着AI工作负载的需求变化,提高了可视性、效率和响应能力。
Early demand is coming from AI-native companies including Perplexity, which is working with Firebird to access high-performance AI infrastructure for its AI agent platform and answer engine.
早期需求来自AI原生公司,包括Perplexity,该公司正与Firebird合作,为其AI代理平台和答案引擎获取高性能AI基础设施。
As AI becomes essential infrastructure worldwide, Firebird’s expansion can help make the CIS region a magnet for global companies building and running AI — and a catalyst for local developers, researchers and enterprises.
随着AI成为全球必不可少的基础设施,Firebird的扩张有助于使独联体地区成为全球公司构建和运行AI的磁石,并成为本地开发者、研究人员和企业的催化剂。
Powered by NVIDIA’s total AI factory platform — reference architecture, accelerated computing, networking and AI software — and deployed on Dell PowerEdge servers, the new Firebird AI factory will help Armenia’s builders turn energy into intelligence and connect their innovations to the global AI economy.
由NVIDIA的完整AI工厂平台(参考架构、加速计算、网络和AI软件)提供支持,并部署在Dell PowerEdge服务器上,新的Firebird AI工厂将帮助亚美尼亚的建设者将能源转化为智能,并将其创新与全球AI经济连接起来。
