Excited about what @EximBankUS is working on with partners like El Salvador who are committed to building on the US AI tech stack.

[Hydra Host @get_hydrahost]

Important conversations happening at the @EximBankUS 2026 Annual Conference. @GarrettJohnson joined government and industry leaders to tackle a question that's becoming impossible to ignore: How do you monetize sovereign AI infrastructure at scale?

El Salvador is the live proof of concept, and the work being driven by @stacyherbert and Ambassador @MilenaMayorga is showing what's possible when national leadership gets serious about it.

This is what the future of AI policy looks like in practice.

What does your country's sovereign AI strategy look like? Drop your thoughts below. 👇

I look forward to discussing how President @nayibbukele and our partners in El Salvador are leading on Sovereign AI in the Western Hemisphere at the EXIM 2026 Summit today in DC.

[Hydra Host @get_hydrahost]

Hydra Host is heading to Washington!

Our Co-Founder & COO, Garrett Johnson, will take the stage at the 2026 EXIM Annual Conference on April 29 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, joining leaders from the @EximBankUS, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State, and @armadaskis .

The conversation: how sovereign AI becomes bankable.

El Salvador is the live case. Hydra Host is on the ground, designing and deploying AI infrastructure, aligning demand, energy, and regulation, and structuring the project for financing. It's proof that this model works. And it's a blueprint for how EXIM can power America's next wave of AI exports across the Western Hemisphere.

If America wants to lead in AI, it must export the full stack, compute, power, and capital.

Looking forward to the conversation alongside Sarah Whitten, Heather Goethert, Brandon Remington, and Dan Wright.

President @nayibbukele is building a new El Salvador!

[Hydra Host @get_hydrahost]

Hydra Host was proud to participate in @sovaisv in El Salvador, an event that made one thing clear: the global race for AI is accelerating, and new leaders are emerging.

With the support of President @nayibbukele and a strong national focus on innovation, El Salvador is positioning itself as a serious contender in sovereign AI. As our COO, @GarrettJohnson, shared, access to advanced compute infrastructure is quickly becoming a defining factor in global competitiveness.

At SovAI, we saw firsthand how quickly this ecosystem is taking shape, from cutting-edge hardware deployments to a growing pipeline of local talent ready to build the future.

We’re excited to continue expanding our presence in El Salvador and contributing to an AI ecosystem that empowers both public and private sectors.

The future of AI won’t be centralized, it will be built by nations ready to move fast, execute, and lead.

El Salvador is proving that with the right partners and the right infrastructure, nations can move fast and build at a world class level.

Hydra Host is proud to be part of that momentum.

[Hydra Host @get_hydrahost]

The future of AI infrastructure is being built on contracts, not guesswork.

Hydra’s latest blog by @NotASithLord breaks down how AI Factory offtake agreements are shaping the next phase of AI infrastructure. These agreements bring predictability to GPU deployments, align capital with real demand, and turn compute into a dependable, revenue-generating asset.

For operators, investors, and enterprises, offtake is how bare metal scales responsibly. It lowers risk, improves utilization, and accelerates deployment without relying on opaque cloud economics.

MASTERCLASS ON COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EL SALVADOR'S AI STUDENTS

Aaron Ginn, the CEO and co-founder of Hydra Host, lectured our CUBO_ai students earlier today about the changing landscape of computing infrastructure, focusing on the contrast between traditional CPU-based computing and the emerging GPU-powered infrastructure for artificial intelligence.

🇸🇻 BREAKING: EL SALVADOR MAKES HISTORY WITH NVIDIA B300 CHIP ORDER

President Bukele just secured the WORLD'S FIRST SOVEREIGN quote for cutting-edge B300 chips following a meeting yesterday with Aaron Ginn, CEO and Co-founder of Hydra Host!

These aren't just any chips - they're the most advanced artificial intelligence processors on the planet, and they're headed straight to El Salvador's National AI Lab.

🔥 All eyes on San Salvador - the future isn't just coming, it's being BUILT right now.

[Garrett Johnson @GarrettJohnson]

The Hydra team are the stars in this. We couldn't have done it without so many of them believing in us and putting in long hard hours with us to make it happen.

Thank you for a fantastic 4 years and this is only the beginning.

[Hydra Host @get_hydrahost]

Four years ago today, a group of bold (some might say crazy) entrepreneurs launched Hydra Host.

Since then, we’ve lived the full startup story—scrappy beginnings, uphill battles, and some unbelievable wins.

In early 2024, we made a pivotal move: doubling down on GPUs. That decision put us on a 🚀 and we haven’t looked back.

Today, Hydra is powering an AI Factory Accelerator Model, helping build data center infrastructure and go-to-market strategies not just for companies, but for entire countries.

Huge thanks to our founders, @aginnt, @GarrettJohnson, and @NotASithLord, for jumping on this wild ride. Here’s to what’s next. 🍻

[Garrett Johnson @GarrettJohnson]

A customer told us last week, 'Your service is great. You're like a bot with immediate response.' That’s how we maintain a 92% utilization rate across 15K+ GPUs. Exceptional service is how we win.

[Hydra Host @get_hydrahost]

If your GPUs aren’t running at 90%+ utilization… what are you doing? Hydra manages over 15,000 GPUs globally at 40+ data centers — and we keep them busy.

We help #datacenters go from idle infrastructure to revenue-generating assets fast.

📩 Email [email protected] to get started today.

[Garrett Johnson @GarrettJohnson]

Hydra Financial has started with a BANG. Within 2 months, we are already helping multiple data centers scale with financing that requires no large capex.

[Hydra Host @get_hydrahost]

Crusoe just raised $225M with an asset-backed private credit firm to scale their AI infrastructure and they’re not alone.

At Hydra, we’ve built an entire financing arm to help data centers and operators do the same. With GPU-as-an-asset financing, you can scale compute without draining your capital or waiting for a lease to expire.

🔥 Whether you’re building clusters, renting GPUs, or expanding your footprint, Hydra Financial has options designed for the speed and volatility of the AI market.

Let’s make your next deployment real. 🔗 https://t.co/NH0O0IFWRE
