- Nvidia will supply 18,000+ Blackwell GB300 AI chips to Saudi Arabia’s Humain.
- The chips will power a 500-megawatt AI data center being developed in the Kingdom.

The announcement was made during the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Riyadh, alongside President Donald Trump’s Gulf tour.
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, announced on Tuesday that the company will sell more than 18,000 units of its most advanced AI chips—the Blackwell GB300—to Humain, Saudi Arabia’s government-backed AI firm owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The announcement was made during the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum held in Riyadh, which coincided with U.S. President Donald Trump’s official visit to the Kingdom, part of a Gulf tour that also includes Qatar and the UAE.
Blackwell-Powered AI Supercomputing in Saudi Arabia
The chips will be deployed in a 500-megawatt AI data center being built in Saudi Arabia, making it one of the most powerful AI infrastructure projects in the region.
Nvidia stated that this initial deployment will feature the GB300 Blackwell, the company’s most powerful AI accelerator to date, officially unveiled earlier this year.
Jensen Huang: “Saudi Arabia Is Building the Future of AI”
During his remarks at the forum, Jensen Huang stated:
“I’m very pleased to be here to celebrate the grand opening and the launch of Humain. It is truly an amazing vision for Saudi Arabia to build AI infrastructure in your country, so you can participate and help shape the future of this transformative technology.”
He added:
“Saudi Arabia is rich in energy, and you are transforming that energy into AI supercomputers powered by Nvidia—essentially factories of intelligence.”
Humain’s Long-Term Vision: Building at Scale
Humain’s roadmap includes:
-
Developing foundational AI models
-
Constructing hyperscale data centers
-
Deploying hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs over time
The news sent Nvidia shares up more than 5% in Tuesday’s Wall Street trading.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it would roll back the previous Biden-era chip export policy and introduce a “much simpler rule”, potentially easing export restrictions for companies like Nvidia.
