Humain, the AI company of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and NVIDIA announced the expansion of their partnership to up to 84 MW of AI computing, equivalent to about 27,000 GPUs. The announcement took place during GTC Berlin on October 22, 2026.
The first phase comprises 14 MW of Blackwell HGX B300 systems (about 6,000 GPUs), with deployment starting in the fourth quarter of 2026 for Humain Cloud customers. A second phase of 70 MW of Vera Rubin infrastructure is planned from mid-2027, of which 50 MW will be dedicated to an unidentified US client.
Why it matters
Saudi Arabia is accelerating its strategy to become a global AI hub, competing with the United Arab Emirates. Humain plans to reach about 3 GW of data center capacity by 2030 and more than 6 GW by 2034. The deal reinforces demand for NVIDIA chips and the expansion of sovereign AI infrastructure in the Gulf.
Humain CEO Tareq Amin said the company is moving quickly to bring the next generations of NVIDIA-accelerated computing into Saudi Arabia at meaningful scale.
