Kazakhstan Signs $10 Billion AI Infrastructure Deal with Firebird

Kazakhstan has inked agreements with US startup Firebird to establish AI data centers, potentially attracting $10 billion in investment. The ambitious initiative includes a $5 billion phase to develop Data Center Valley in Ekibastuz by 2027. While Nvidia supports the project by supplying chips, officials aim for significant computing capacity and annual exports. However, realization of these plans hinges on successful financing and resource acquisition.
