Uzbekistan's 6MW TAS-1 data center is scheduled to come online by year-end, representing an early entry in the regional market.
Kazakhstan is planning a significantly larger 125MW facility with 100,000 Nvidia chips, targeting completion by 2027.
Central Asian countries are actively competing to establish data center infrastructure, potentially diversifying global AI compute capacity geographically.
