Firebird AI co-founder Alexander Yesayan said that the company plans to increase the volume of computing infrastructure being built in Armenia to 100 thousand GPUs. According to him, the project consists of three stages of development.

Firebird launched the first stage about a month ago. It provides for around 6.1 thousand GPUs. The second stage, which the company had previously announced, involves installing another 45 thousand GPUs, and the third stage is planned to add another 60 thousand.

Thus, Firebird’s total computing infrastructure in Armenia could amount to around 100 thousand GPUs. According to Yesayan’s estimates, such a scale would allow Armenia to enter the ranks of the world’s 5–10 largest countries in terms of relevant infrastructure. At the regional level, he said, the country will definitely become the leader.

The company is currently accelerating work in order to launch the second stage of the project within two years.

Second stage — $7–8 billion in investment

According to Yesayan, the volume of investment in the second stage of the project alone will amount to about $7–8 billion. The third stage will require even greater investment.

He also noted that Armenian specialists will be primarily involved in the project. At the same time, this refers not only to Firebird’s direct employees: already at the construction stage, thousands of people are involved in the project in construction, design, and other fields.

After the second stage is completed, according to Yesayan, the project’s turnover will exceed $2 billion. Investment in the third stage will be even larger, he promises. 

But apparently, Firebird will not stop at the plans already announced. In the context of signing agreements as part of DigiTec-2026, Yesayan said that the company is preparing at least two new announcements that will be made in November. He has not yet disclosed what exactly is behind these announcements, leaving the intrigue until the event itself.
