The latest announcement is out from HIVE Digital Technologies ( (TSE:HIVE) ).

On March 18, 2026, HIVE Digital Technologies announced that its BUZZ AI Cloud platform in Asunción, Paraguay had gone live with GPU compute nodes supporting large language model research for an academic team at Columbia University in New York. The deployment, hosted in a Tier-III data center run by Paraguay’s largest telecom provider, is HIVE’s first operational GPU cluster in the country and is being used to test real-world AI workloads across latency, throughput and workload management.

The Columbia team is running non-commercial LLM pre-training and optimization experiments on BUZZ Cloud, generating performance data that will guide HIVE’s roadmap for scaling high-performance AI compute capacity in Paraguay through 2027. Management framed the project as a proof-of-concept step in layering AI and HPC infrastructure onto HIVE’s existing 300 MW hydro-powered footprint, positioning Paraguay’s low-cost renewable electricity and robust fiber connectivity as strategic advantages for serving future institutional AI demand from South America and North America.
