JEDDAH: Saudi artificial intelligence company Humain and Canada’s Cohere have announced a strategic partnership to build one of the region’s largest dedicated AI infrastructure deployments and develop enterprise and sovereign AI models.
The strategic collaboration, announced on July 9 during Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to the Kingdom, will provide dedicated AI computing infrastructure to power the next generation of frontier AI models.
The deployment is expected to go live by the fourth quarter of 2027, combining Humain’s rapidly expanding AI infrastructure platform with Cohere’s expertise in frontier model development.
Backed by the Public Investment Fund, Humain operates across the AI value chain as part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy to position the Kingdom as a global AI hub by fostering innovation, developing intellectual property, and attracting international talent and investment.
Under the agreement, Humain will allocate at least 50 megawatts of dedicated AI computing capacity to support Cohere’s next-generation foundation models. The deployment is expected to scale over the next five years as demand for computing power increases.
