HUMAIN expands partnership with NVIDIA to build global AI infrastructure
Saudi Arabia’s HUMAIN has expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA to deploy up to 600,000 advanced AI infrastructure units, including GB300 platforms, across three years. The arrangement extends operations into the United States data center facilities while supporting Arabic language model development and digital twin ecosystems for large-scale infrastructure projects.
The enhanced partnership includes the formation of a strategic alliance with American firm Global AI to construct high-density compute campuses in the United States, utilizing NVIDIA GB300 infrastructure connected through Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking. HUMAIN will additionally collaborate with Amazon Web Services to manage up to 150,000 NVIDIA graphics processing units within a dedicated AI Zone in Riyadh designed for training and inference operations.
HUMAIN chief executive Tareq Amin stated the integrated presence across both countries strengthens the capacity to support global AI innovation. The company will employ NVIDIA Nemotron technologies to train HUMAIN Chat, an Arabic conversational application powered by the ALLAM language model serving over 400 million Arabic speakers. NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang characterized AI infrastructure as essential across industries and nations, similar to electricity distribution.
