Elon Musk’s xAI is partnering with Humain to build a 500MW data center in Saudi Arabia. As part of the agreement, xAI’s Grok models will be deployed in Saudi Arabia. A location for the first data center has not been revealed, but an announcement from the two firms said it will “become one of the most advanced AI compute hubs globally.”

Musk said: “The future of intelligence will be engineered through massive and efficient compute combined with the most advanced AI models. Humain’s capabilities enable us to build that future faster in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration represents the first of its kind partnership to deploy xAI’s Grok across an entire country.”
