Groq, the U.S. leader in ultra-low-latency inference acceleration, and HUMAIN, the PIF company delivering global full-stack artificial intelligence solutions. Announced a major expansion of their strategic partnership at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum held in Washington, D.C. alongside the visit of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince HRH Mohammed bin Salman Al-Saud.
The agreement builds on the region’s first and largest sovereign inference cluster, powered by Groq and already serving more than 150 countries. It continues the mission to establish HUMAIN as the number three global inference provider and affirms the joint commitment to keep this Groq-powered cluster the largest in the region as demand for real-time AI grows.
As part of this deployment, HUMAIN will partner with Groq to expand the advanced Groq-powered inference infrastructure already operating in the Kingdom by more than three times the current capacity, ensuring rapid time-to-market and underscoring HUMAIN’s position in ultra-low-latency, sovereign AI compute. This proven architecture serves as the backbone of the nation’s real-time AI capabilities.
In addition, HUMAIN will partner with Groq to introduce Groq’s latest next-generation chipset and rack architecture, bringing substantial improvements in compute density, power efficiency, on-die memory bandwidth, and RealScale™ interconnect performance. This next-generation technology enables the deployment of more sophisticated, larger-scale AI models and agentic workloads with deterministic speed and efficiency.
Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, highlighted the strategic significance of the expansion.
“Our work with HUMAIN continues to advance. By combining immediate deployment capabilities with the introduction of our next-generation architecture, we are enabling real-time AI at a scale that sets a new global benchmark.” Jonathan Ross, Groq Founder and CEO
“By scaling our sovereign inference cluster and incorporating both our current high-performance infrastructure and Groq’s newest chipset innovations, together, we are building one of the world’s most advanced real-time AI platforms. This expansion accelerates our mission to bring world-leading compute capabilities directly into the Kingdom’s data centers. Tareq Amin,CEO of HUMAIN
The expanded cluster will power a new wave of national-scale AI applications across government, enterprise, healthcare, finance, industrial systems, multilingual AI, and real-time agentic workflows.
