HUMAIN teases new laptop developed with Qualcomm
The device represents a big bet by HUMAIN to broaden its AI efforts, and pits it against some large players.
HUMAIN, an AI firm backed by the Public Investment Fund, has teased a new laptop developed in collaboration with chip designer Qualcomm. The device, designed in Saudi Arabia, features CPU, GPU, and NPU components working together to run AI models locally on the device. HUMAIN CEO Tareq Amin revealed this in a teaser video posted by him.
The laptop packaging boldly states "Designed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," a clear reference to Apple's design philosophy. More details, including a potential launch date, are set to be unveiled at LEAP, a technology conference in Riyadh starting August 31. This move signifies HUMAIN's ambitious expansion into AI, challenging established players like Windows laptops that come preloaded with Microsoft's Copilot.
Amin hinted at the possibility of a new operating system tailored for an "agentic AI world" in the video.
