HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. activated its BUZZ AI Cloud platform in Asunción, Paraguay, on March 18 2026, marking the first operational GPU cluster under the company’s strategy to layer artificial‑intelligence and high‑performance computing (HPC) infrastructure onto its renewable‑energy assets in the country.
The new cluster, housed in a Tier‑III data center operated by Paraguay’s largest telecommunications provider, is designed to support AI model training, inference, and other compute‑intensive research tasks. A research team from Columbia University is running live GPU‑based workloads on the system, focusing on large‑language‑model pre‑training and optimization algorithms.
HIVE’s announcement emphasized that the deployment serves as a proof‑of‑concept for running AI compute workloads between New York and Asunción. The company will use performance data from the project to guide future expansion, including additional Tier‑III data center capacity in Yguazú.
The launch is part of HIVE’s twin‑engine model, which combines Bitcoin mining with AI and HPC services. The company currently operates 300 MW of renewable hydroelectric power in Paraguay, with an additional 100 MW under development, and aims to position the country as a regional AI hub.
By demonstrating that its renewable‑energy‑powered infrastructure can support demanding AI workloads, HIVE is diversifying its revenue streams and reinforcing its strategic intent to scale AI and HPC services alongside its mining operations.
