The Rundown: Saudi Arabia’s HUMAIN announced new AI partnerships with xAI, Nvidia, and other major companies at the U.S.-Saudi investment forum — including a plan to deploy 600K GPUs, build a 500+ MW data center, and deploy Grok nationwide.
The details:
xAI will build its first international data center in Saudi Arabia, deploying Grok nationwide through HUMAIN’s agent platform for government & enterprise use.The HUMAIN deals expand to the West for the first time, establishing Nvidia-powered data centers in the U.S. in addition to its Middle East infrastructure. AWS will also roll out 150K chips to Saudi Arabia’s ‘AI Zone’ data center, with other HUMAIN partnerships including AMD, Cisco, Adobe, and Qualcomm. AI video platform Luma AI also announced a $900M raise led by HUMAIN to build a 2GW supercluster launching in 2026 for multimodal model training.The U.S. government reportedly approved AI chip sales to both HUMAIN and the UAE’s G42, opening the door to exports in the region after previous limits.
Why it matters: Despite previous restrictions and national security concerns around AI deals in the Gulf region, the floodgates are open — and everyone is ready to take advantage of the big money, energy, and land ripe for datacenters. Saudi Arabia’s big moves are quickly turning the country into a major player in the industry.
