Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Saudi Ministry of Commerce announced it has become the first government entity in the Kingdom to adopt the NVIDIA B300 AI platform, powered by HUMAIN, reinforcing the Saudi government sector's leadership in embracing advanced AI infrastructure.

The adoption of cutting-edge AI capabilities extends the ministry’s ongoing efforts to facilitate business operations, including the issuance of commercial registrations and trade name reservations, as well as accelerating the procedures for establishing companies and enterprises, the ministry stated in a press release yesterday.

These efforts are supported by advanced services that ensure regulatory compliance, streamline business management, and optimize development processes for these entities.

These technologies also accelerate the deployment of inspection tours and enhance supervisory oversight, in addition to auditing and processing commercial reports, detecting violations, particularly those related to trade fraud, e-commerce, and more.

The ministry harnesses AI to advance its partnership with the private sector to respond quickly to challenges and establish more sustainable economic indices through monitoring supply chains, analyzing global market movements, and tracking price fluctuations to support data-driven decision-making.

HUMAIN partnered with NVIDIA to build AI factories in the Kingdom with a projected capacity of up to 500 megawatts powered by several hundred thousand of NVIDIA’s most advanced Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The first phase of the deployment included an 18,000 NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell AI supercomputer with NVIDIA InfiniBand networking.

NVIDIA DGX B300 delivers the hyperscaler performance needed to build a modern AI factory. Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, DGX B300 boosts dense FP4 performance by 1.5x and attention performance by 2x over DGX B200, all in a new form factor designed to fit seamlessly into the modern data center.
