AMD and HUMAIN, Saudi Arabia’s new AI enterprise, announced a landmark agreement to build the world’s most open, scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure, that will power the future of global intelligence through a network of AMD-based AI computing centres stretching from Saudi Arabia to United States.
As part of the agreement, the parties will invest up to $10B to deploy 500 megawatts of AI compute capacity over the next five years. The AI superstructure built by AMD and HUMAIN will be open by design, accessible at scale, and optimised to power AI workloads across enterprise, start-up and sovereign markets.
HUMAIN will oversee end-to-end delivery, including hyperscale data centre, sustainable power systems, and global fibre interconnects, and AMD will provide the full spectrum of the AMD AI compute portfolio and the AMD ROCm open software ecosystem.
“At AMD, we have a bold vision to enable the future of AI everywhere – bringing open, high-performance computing to every developer, AI start-up and enterprise around the world,” said Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO, AMD. “Our investment with HUMAIN is a significant milestone in advancing global AI infrastructure. Together, we are building a globally significant AI platform that delivers performance, openness and reach at unprecedented levels.”
“This is not just another infrastructure play – it’s an open invitation to the world’s innovators,” said Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN. “We are democratising AI at the compute level, ensuring that access to advanced AI is limited only by imagination, not by infrastructure.”
With initial deployments already underway across key global regions, the collaboration is on track to activate multi-exaflop capacity by early 2026, supported by next-gen AI silicon, modular data centre zones, and a developer-enablement focused software platform stack built around open standards and interoperability.
The collaboration will deliver a market-defining value proposition by combining Saudi Arabia’s energy resources, AI-ready workforce and forward-looking national AI policies with the AMD full-spectrum AI stack including:
AMD Instinct GPUs, with industry-memory and inference performance.
AMD EPYC CPUs, offering world-class compute density and energy efficiency.
AMD Pensando DPUs, enabling scalable, secure, and programmable networking.
AMD Ryzen AI, bringing on-device AI compute to the Edge.
AMD ROCm open software ecosystem with built-in support for all AI frameworks, PyTorch, SGLang, etc.
HUMAIN, a PIF company, is a global Artificial Intelligence company delivering full-stack AI capabilities across four core areas – next-generation data centres, hyper-performance infrastructure and cloud platforms, advanced AI Models, including the world’s most advanced Arabic multimodal LLMs, and transformative AI Solutions that combine deep sector insight with real-world execution.
HUMAIN’s end-to-end model serves both public and private sector organisations, unlocking exponential value across all industries, driving transformation and strengthening capabilities through human-AI synergies. With a growing portfolio of sector-specific AI products and a core mission to drive IP leadership and talent supremacy world-wide, HUMAIN is engineered for global competitiveness and national distinction.
