  "account": "Saudi Arabia's Humain has expanded its collaboration with US chip manufacturer Nvidia to develop up to 84 megawatts of AI computing capacity, including infrastructure for an undisclosed American customer. The agreement, unveiled at Nvidia's GTC conference in Berlin on Thursday, involves around 27,000 advanced graphics processing units (GPUs). Deployments are set to begin later this year, with additional capacity planned for 2027. This expansion builds upon a partnership announced in May 2025 during US President Donald Trump's visit to Riyadh, when Nvidia committed to supplying Humain with hundreds of thousands of AI chips over five years. The initial phase of the latest agreement will consist of 14 megawatts of Nvidia's Blackwell HGX B300 systems, equivalent to approximately 6,000 GPUs, with deployment starting in the fourth quarter. A further 70 megawatts of Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin infrastructure, equivalent to about 21,000 GPUs, is scheduled for deployment from mid-2027, with 50 megawatts dedicated to advanced AI workloads for an unnamed US client. The companies noted that the Vera Rubin projects are still subject to final agreements and deployment plans.",
