Together AI, which serves open-source artificial intelligence models, announced a deal to use compute from Humain in Saudi Arabia, where it can bypass U.S. backlash over data centers.
Many of Saudi Arabia’s new data centers are being built by Humain, which was started last year as part of the country’s effort to jump-start its A.I. industry and diversify its economy away from oil.
The social networking giant projected it could spend $10 billion annually on Anthropic’s tools, illustrating the friend-foe relationships underlying the A.I. race.
