Together AI, HUMAIN Plan 250MW Saudi AI Data Center
The partners say the project will nearly triple Together AI’s capacity and support more than $5 billion in annualized revenue.
A major bet on open-model infrastructure
Together AI and Saudi Arabia’s HUMAIN have agreed to develop a 250-megawatt AI data center in the kingdom, linking HUMAIN’s power, land and capital resources with Together AI’s cloud platform for training and serving open models. Together described it as one of the largest infrastructure commitments yet aimed specifically at open-source AI.
The companies said the planned capacity would nearly triple the computing power available to Together AI customers. Together also projected that workloads running through the facility could represent more than $5 billion in annualized revenue. That figure is a forward-looking estimate rather than present revenue, and the companies did not disclose the project’s construction cost, financing structure, GPU suppliers or delivery schedule.
HUMAIN is backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and was created to build a vertically integrated AI industry spanning data centers, cloud services and models. For Together AI, the arrangement offers access to a scale of power and construction financing that is increasingly difficult for independent AI-cloud providers to secure in the United States. The resulting capacity is intended to serve global enterprise demand, rather than only Saudi customers.
Why it matters
The agreement moves competition around open models into the same capital-intensive arena as proprietary frontier AI. Model weights may be freely available, but training and reliably serving them still requires power, accelerators and long-term infrastructure commitments. A 250MW campus would give Together substantially more leverage against hyperscale clouds while making Saudi Arabia a larger node in the global AI-compute market.
The unanswered questions are consequential: when the capacity becomes operational, which chips it uses, and how much of the projected demand is contractually committed. Until those details emerge, the $5 billion figure should be read as the economic ambition attached to the campus, not as secured revenue.
