Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Saudi AI infrastructure technology provider OmniOps recently partnered with NourNet to develop Bunyan, the Kingdom's first sovereign Inference as a Service platform, at scale, according to Mohammed Altassan, Founding CEO of OmniOps.

Through this partnership, OmniOps will develop and operate Bunyan by hosting and managing all AI applications across the Kingdom, while NourNet will utilize its expertise in managing the national infrastructure and sensitive data center to ensure data sovereignty and security, Altassan stated in an interview with Asharq Business.

He affirmed that the partnership targets ensuring data sovereignty and supporting Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation goals.

Recently, OmniOps and NourNet announced their strategic partnership to deliver advanced AI and data analytics services by combining OmniOps’ expertise in AI technologies with NourNet’s robust local Tier 3 Data Center infrastructure.

This collaboration targets providing enterprises with end-to-end, sophisticated AI solutions that are compliant with local data sovereignty regulations. By leveraging the NourNet AI Platform, businesses can integrate AI seamlessly into their operations, improving efficiency, decision-making, and customer engagement.

In July, OmniOps and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) launched Bunyan to deliver cutting-edge AI capabilities with full support for text, vision, and speech applications. The platform offers an end-to-end AI infrastructure stack, from model deployment capabilities, allowing users to create and deploy their own AI models with a few clicks, to hosting on the most advanced AI infrastructure hardware, such as NVIDIA and Groq.
