Humain & Cohere Partner for AI in Saudi Arabia

Humain and Canadian AI company Cohere have announced a strategic partnership to develop AI computing infrastructure and sovereign AI models in Saudi Arabia. This agreement marks Cohere's first international expansion outside North America. Humain will provide at least 50 megawatts of AI computing capacity to support Cohere's foundation models. This capacity could grow over the next five years, with the infrastructure expected to be operational by late 2027. The collaboration also includes creating custom AI solutions for businesses and specialized Arabic-language models. Humain's CEO stated that access to computing capacity is crucial for AI's future, and Cohere's choice of Saudi Arabia highlights the strength of Humain's infrastructure. Cohere's co-founder noted that this partnership provides the necessary infrastructure and flexibility for their long-term strategy. This collaboration aims to strengthen regional AI capabilities and enable secure, tailored AI applications.
