Firebird has chosen Adag Group to serve as prime consultant on what the companies describe as the Caucasus' first and largest large-scale AI supercomputing facility, a project aimed at expanding high-performance computing capacity for artificial intelligence workloads in the region.

The planned facility is designed to scale beyond 100MW of IT capacity and support up to 50,000 GPUs, according to the announcement. Firebird said the site will include a data hall capable of hosting thousands of Nvidia Blackwell GPUs as part of a next-generation AI supercomputing platform.

Adag Group, a North American data center and mission-critical infrastructure consultancy founded in Montreal, Canada in 2020, will handle design, project management, construction administration, and commissioning services for the project. The company said it is currently involved in deploying more than 3GW of data center capacity across North America and Europe.

Firebird, a U.S.-based AI cloud and infrastructure company, said the development is part of its effort to build AI infrastructure in emerging markets and broaden access to advanced AI computing for research, enterprise, and public-sector use.

"Adag Group brings deep expertise in mission-critical engineering, fast-paced delivery, and sustainable design", said Razmig Hovaghimian, Firebird's co-founder and CEO. "Their team understands the scale, precision, and reliability that AI supercomputing demands, and we are proud to partner with them on this transformative project."

Kevork Kazanjian, CEO of Adag Group, said the company plans to support the project through construction.

"We are excited to begin this fruitful partnership with Firebird expanding in key new markets for much-needed technological capacity, and we are committed to delivering best-in-class services from design through to delivery of final construction of the project", said Kevork Kazanjian, CEO of Adag Group.

The companies said the project will help establish a foundation for AI innovation in the Caucasus region while addressing growing global demand for advanced computing capacity.
