Saudi AI Firm Humain Launches Massive Global Infrastructure Partnerships
Humain is partnering with AMD, Cisco, and Together AI to build up to 1GW of AI capacity in Saudi Arabia by 2030.
The Saudi Arabian AI firm Humain has launched a series of massive infrastructure and software partnerships to establish the Kingdom as a global technology hub. In a joint venture with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc., Humain activated production AI infrastructure using AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and Cisco Silicon One networking. This initiative aims to deploy up to 1GW of AI capacity by 2030, providing GPU-as-a-service for model training and inferencing.
Expanding its reach, Humain and AMD announced a $10 billion investment to deploy 500MW of computing capacity across Saudi Arabia and the United States over five years. This collaboration includes an AI in a Box turnkey solution for Saudi enterprises in the financial and energy sectors. Simultaneously, Humain partnered with U.S.-based Together AI to build a 250MW open-source AI data center, a move Together AI CEO Vipul Prakash attributed to capacity constraints and local backlash against data centers in the United States.
Beyond hardware, Humain is diversifying into AI applications and public access. The company partnered with Applied Intuition Inc. to deploy a national autonomous logistics network by 2030, focusing on self-driving trucks and robotaxis. Additionally, a $4 billion agreement with Adobe will provide free AI-powered tools to over 27 million Saudi citizens and residents by the end of 2026, featuring a new image generation model tuned to Saudi culture and the Arabic language.
