GMI Cloud, a cloud service provider headquartered in the United States, said on the 17th that with the support of the American artificial intelligence (AI) giant NVIDIA, the company will build an AI data center in Taiwan worth US$500 million (approximately NT$15.58 billion).
Reuters reported that GMI Cloud’s data center in Taiwan will be online before March 2026 and will use NVIDIA’s (Nvidia) new Blackwell GB300 chips.
This data center will be equipped with approximately 7,000 graphics processing units (GPUs), distributed in 96 high-density cabinets, capable of processing nearly 2 million tokens per second, and consuming approximately 16 megawatts (megawatts).
GMI Cloud is a company that provides GPU-as-a-Service. It is one of NVIDIA's cloud partners and already operates data centers in the United States, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand and Japan.
Alex Yeh, founder and CEO of GMI Cloud, pointed out that Taiwan needs more data centers as "strategic assets" to support the development of AI. Ye Weiyan also said that the challenges facing Taiwan's power supply can be solved, AI demand is strong, and the company's GPU usage is "almost full."
