Humain Nvidia deal expands to up to 84MW
Saudi Arabia’s Humain has expanded its partnership with Nvidia to develop up to 84MW of artificial intelligence computing capacity, covering about 27,000 GPUs across two deployment phases.
The first phase includes 14MW of Nvidia’s Blackwell HGX B300 systems, equivalent to about 6,000 GPUs, with deployment starting in the fourth quarter. A further 70MW of next-generation Vera Rubin infrastructure, representing about 21,000 GPUs, is planned from mid-2027.
Of the planned Vera Rubin capacity, 50MW will be dedicated to advanced AI workloads for an unidentified US client. The remaining 20MW will support Humain Cloud. The Vera Rubin projects remain subject to final agreements and deployment plans.
What Humain does
Humain is a Saudi company launched in May 2025 and owned by the kingdom’s Public Investment Fund. Its Humain Cloud infrastructure will support AI companies, government entities and businesses.

The company plans to develop about 3GW of data centre capacity by 2030 and more than 6GW by 2034. Its earlier Nvidia partnership involved plans to supply hundreds of thousands of advanced AI chips over five years.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE
The agreement adds computing capacity for Humain Cloud customers while assigning part of the planned infrastructure to an American customer. Saudi Arabia is competing with the UAE to attract AI investment and build large-scale computing infrastructure.
Both Gulf countries depend on US export approvals to obtain advanced AI chips, making Washington’s technology restrictions an important factor in their expansion plans.
Humain’s position
“We are moving quickly to bring the next generations of Nvidia-accelerated computing into Saudi Arabia at meaningful scale,” Humain chief executive Tareq Amin said.
