Armenian startup Eleveight AI has launched a significant milestone in the country’s AI infrastructure by deploying 512 Nvidia B300 GPUs at its new data center in Gagarin, Armenia. The facility, designed for high-density GPU operations, is expected to be completed by the end of the month, with the hardware already installed on-site.
The company emphasized its commitment to sustainability by highlighting that the data center will operate on a "renewable-heavy power mix", ensuring energy efficiency while supporting cutting-edge computing needs. Extensive preparation has also gone into the facility, with Eleveight implementing robust power delivery, cooling systems, and operational monitoring to optimize performance and stability.
"This is the first Nvidia B300 deployment in Armenia", the startup noted, underscoring the importance of this achievement for the country’s role in advancing AI infrastructure.
Eleveight AI’s venture signifies Armenia's increasing presence in the global AI ecosystem. CEO Arman Aleksanian expressed confidence in the project's impact, stating, "Armenia is stepping onto the global stage of AI infrastructure, and this project marks a defining move in that direction." He further elaborated on the strategic importance of the initiative, saying, "With the deployment of Nvidia’s latest B300 GPUs, we are building AI infrastructure that sets new global benchmarks for performance and capability."
Eleveight expects this deployment to cater to a wide range of users, including enterprise customers, startups, and research organizations. The new GPU capacity is scheduled to become available in the second quarter of 2026, although the company has already reported that demand is exceeding the initial 2MW capacity allocations.
The Gagarin data center is just the beginning of Eleveight AI's broader vision. "We focused first on getting the fundamentals right: power, cooling, and long-term stability. This is only the first step, and next year we plan to expand not only the project's computing capacity but also its geographic reach", Aleksanian added.
Founded in 2025, Eleveight AI has quickly established itself as a key player in developing AI-centric data center infrastructure. By launching this state-of-the-art facility in Gagarin, the company is setting a strong precedent for Armenia’s role in the rapidly growing AI sector while laying the groundwork for future advancements in AI-driven computing solutions.
