Saudi AI company HUMAIN is preparing to unveil a new laptop designed for the era of AI agents, extending its ambitions beyond models and cloud infrastructure into hardware and operating systems.
The company is expected to present the device at the LEAP conference in Riyadh, scheduled for August 31 to September 3. HUMAIN CEO Tareq Amin said the computer is being developed with Qualcomm and will combine central processing units, graphics processing units and neural processing units to run AI models locally, reducing reliance on cloud computing.
Amin said the project’s most significant element may be its operating system. HUMAIN is exploring a system designed around user intent rather than traditional applications, allowing AI agents to understand tasks and act on the user’s behalf. The company is expected to share more details at LEAP.
The device is part of HUMAIN’s broader effort to build an integrated Saudi AI ecosystem spanning models, applications, computing and data centers. Its products include Humain Chat, a large language model supporting Arabic and multiple dialects.
The company is also working with Blackstone and data center operator AirTrunk on Saudi infrastructure, with an initial investment of nearly $3B, according to the announcement. HUMAIN has additional partnerships with Nvidia and Amazon Web Services.
