According to Nvidia, the first phase of the centre was built and commissioned in just over six months. By the end of 2027 Firebird plans to deploy more than 70,000 Nvidia Blackwell and Rubin accelerators in Armenia.

The project was announced in June 2025 with an initial investment of about 500 million dollars. In November 2025 the US government approved the export of chips for it.
