RIYADH,
Saudi Arabia, Sept. 12,
2024 /CNW/ -- SDAIA is thrilled to announce a
groundbreaking collaboration with NVIDIA that will propel
Saudi Arabia to the forefront of
AI innovation. At the heart of this collaboration is the
integration of the latest NVIDIA technological advancements to
enable developers to more easily build and deploy AI applications
with the ALLaM Arabic LLM model, ensuring an unparalleled
performance and scalability for region-specific workloads.
Leveraging NVIDIA NeMo, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise
software platform for large-scale language model training and
NeMo Guardrails for AI safety, this strategic move will provide
developers with a faster, more accessible path to building
generative AI applications with ALLaM's capabilities and set a new
standard for AI-driven language models in the region, making it a
pivotal element in Arabic language AI. Additionally, companies will
have access to recently announced NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints
to support quick and simple development of customized AI agents for
any industry.
In addition to these advancements in AI applications, SDAIA is
working closely with NVIDIA to significantly scale its
supercomputing infrastructure. Plans are in place to establish one
of the largest high-performance computing data centers in the MENA
region by expanding SDAIA's existing NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD
infrastructure. This expansion is planned to
integrate NVIDIA's most advanced technologies, including the
upcoming NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, and is expected to
eventually grow to over 5,000 GPUs, setting a new benchmark for
digital innovation and infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
This partnership builds upon the successful deployment of the
initial SDAIA NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD AI supercomputer and
includes a roadmap to exponentially expand supercomputing
capabilities while adopting NVIDIA's best practices for LLM
training and deployment. By integrating
NVIDIA Triton Inference Server for efficient model
deployment and NVIDIA TensorRT software for optimized
inference, SDAIA is ensuring that its AI infrastructure remains at
the cutting edge of global technology trends.
Together, SDAIA and NVIDIA are driving a new era of AI-powered
transformation in Saudi Arabia,
reinforcing the Kingdom's leadership in AI and digital innovation
on the global stage.
