"Humain is barely six months old, but it is rapidly becoming a major force in the global build out of AI infrastructure. Founded by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and backed by the nation's $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, Humain has ambitions to supply 6% of the world's AI computing power by 2034, which would make it the world's third largest AI data center provider behind the U.S. and China."
"Huang's mentions of Humain on Nvidia's earnings call come a day after the CEO attended a state dinner at the White House for the Crown Prince, who is visiting the U.S. for the first time since 2018. Coinciding with the visit, Humain announced a deal with Nvidia and Amazon to put 150,000 of Nvidia's chips, including some of its state-of-the-art Grace Blackwell 300s, in data centers in a new "AI Zone" being built in the Saudi capital Riyadh."
"The company also signed a landmark deal with xAI to build a 500 megawatt data center for the company in Saudi Arabia. Nvidia will supply the chips for that data center too. "Because of our deep partnership with Elon and xAI, we were able to bring that opportunity to Saudi Arabia, to the KSA, so that Humain could also be hosting opportunity for xAI," Huang said on the earnings call."
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang named Humain alongside Amazon, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI as customers deploying Nvidia chips. Humain launched six months ago, founded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and backed by the Public Investment Fund with plans to supply 6% of global AI compute by 2034. Humain announced a deal with Nvidia and Amazon to deploy 150,000 Nvidia chips, including Grace Blackwell 300s, in an "AI Zone" in Riyadh. The company signed a deal with xAI for a 500 MW data center in Saudi Arabia with Nvidia supplying chips. Former Aramco executive Tareq Amin leads Humain's full-stack AI ambitions, and the company trained and launched a large language model called ALAM.
