Arab developers want to have their own computing power, control it, have their own platforms and not depend on the Chinese or Americans.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have begun buying thousands of US technology company Nvidia accelerators for their artificial intelligence systems. On Tuesday, August 15, wrote the Financial Times.
It is reported that Riyadh, through the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), has purchased approximately 3,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs for a total cost of approximately $120 million.
KAUST is working on the Shaheen III supercomputer, which will launch this year with 700 Grace Hopper superchips developed by Nvidia for use in AI.
Emirates has also ordered thousands of Nvidia chips, and the state-owned Technology Innovation Institute in Abu Dhabi has already developed a large model of the Falcon language based on the American company’s chips.
“Such models are used to generate coherent text, images and code,” the publication points out.
It was noted that Nvidia will ship 550,000 of the latest H100 chips this year, most of them to US technology companies.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley believe orders for Nvidia computing accelerators have been secured three or four quarters early and there will be a shortage of production capacity until the second half of next year.
The Iranian Navy and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have adopted a new long-range cruise missile that uses artificial intelligence.
