US Approves NVIDIA GPU Exports to Armenia: A New Era of AI Diplomacy

The US government has approved the export of NVIDIA GPUs to Armenia, marking a new era of AI diplomacy. The 6,144 Blackwell GPUs will power Armenia's first large-scale AI factory and align with American strategic interests. Armenia has met criteria to enable this deal, including signing a peace deal with Azerbaijan and committing to the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity trade corridor. The approval places Armenia alongside Saudi Arabia and the UAE as one of the few nations to secure US clearance for advanced AI hardware in 2025.
