Nvidia Supplies 45K GPUs to Kazakhstan AI Hub

Nvidia has approved 45,000 Blackwell GPUs for a major data center in Kazakhstan, signaling growing AI ambitions in the region.

Kazakhstan is leveraging its energy resources to build a global AI infrastructure, with Nvidia's support playing a key role. During a visit in October, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised the country's potential to become an AI powerhouse, emphasizing the need for both energy and a skilled workforce. The collaboration includes a data center project with Kazakhtelecom, set for completion in Q3 2027, which could eventually reach 500 megawatts of capacity. Firebird.ai, an Armenian-American firm, has secured the GPUs for the project, aiming to foster AI startups and talent development in the region.
