GMI Cloud to launch $500M AI data center in Taiwan

GMI Cloud plans to invest $500 million in a new AI data center in Taiwan, tapping Nvidia’s Blackwell GB300 chips to anchor a 7,000-GPU cluster by early 2026. The project marks a significant push to expand local AI capacity as demand rises across the region. CEO Alex Yeh said Taiwan needs more “strategic” infrastructure, noting the company’s GPU usage is already near full. Early customers include Nvidia, Trend Micro, and Wistron.
