At the LEAP conference, Together AI and Humanai announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of AI infrastructure and cloud services in Saudi Arabia. The collaboration aims to connect advanced computing capabilities developed by Humanai within the Kingdom to the growing global demand for AI services.
New Data Center with 250MW Capacity
The partnership includes plans to build a new data center in Saudi Arabia with a capacity of up to 250 megawatts (MW). This facility will enhance the Kingdom’s ability to host AI-related workloads, including model training and inference, and provide computing services to developers, enterprises, and AI-focused companies worldwide.
The collaboration combines Humanai’s large-scale, multi-chip infrastructure with Together AI’s cloud platform specialized in AI, enabling high-performance computing resources hosted in Saudi Arabia. These capabilities are expected to support the development and global availability of AI applications, with low-latency access to key markets including Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
This new infrastructure is significant given the increasing global demand for AI-dedicated data centers, especially as energy becomes a major constraint on rapid expansion in computing capacity. Saudi Arabia leverages its energy generation capabilities and strategic geographic location to address this challenge.
Projected Revenues Exceed $5 Billion
The companies anticipate that the partnership will generate total annual revenues exceeding $5 billion in its first year, indicating the expected demand for the advanced computing and infrastructure to be developed in the Kingdom.
Tariq Amin, CEO of Humanai, stated that the future of AI depends on combining world-class infrastructure, platforms, and ecosystems. He noted that the collaboration brings together Humanai’s infrastructure capabilities with Together AI’s cloud platform and global developer ecosystem.
Supporting Humanai’s Strategy
This partnership is part of Humanai’s strategy to build an integrated AI value chain, encompassing data centers, computing infrastructure, cloud platforms, foundation models, and AI applications. The company continues to expand its capabilities to support a wide range of workloads through multi-tenant, multi-chip infrastructure designed to meet the needs of developers, enterprises, and AI-driven companies.
Advancing Open-Source AI
Together AI provides a cloud platform specialized in open-source AI, including access to advanced models, production-grade inference capabilities, and infrastructure for model training. Through this partnership, developers and companies will be able to leverage these capabilities via infrastructure hosted in Saudi Arabia, supporting the development, training, and deployment of AI applications for global markets.
Vipul Ved Prakash, co-founder and CEO of Together AI, emphasized that open-source AI has become a key approach for companies seeking to own their models, data, and intelligent capabilities. He confirmed that the collaboration with Humanai combines the Saudi company’s expertise in developing large-scale infrastructure with Together AI’s experience in cloud AI and specialized technologies.
Overall, the partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of AI technologies across various sectors, support the development of the next generation of AI-based applications and services, and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position as a global hub for computing infrastructure and AI services.
