Groq, a Silicon Valley-based AI company, has secured a substantial commitment of $1.5 billion from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to expand its advanced AI inference infrastructure. The announcement was made during LEAP 2025, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s position as a key player in the AI computing realm amid increasing global and regional demands for high-performance AI solutions.
The company has been rapidly expanding its operations in the Middle East, recently establishing the largest AI inference cluster in the region in December 2024. This impressive deployment was completed in just eight days, positioning Saudi Arabia as a crucial hub for AI-driven computing innovations. Groq’s GroqCloud platform, supported by a cutting-edge data center in Dammam, now offers advanced AI inference capabilities globally.
During the LEAP 2025 event, Groq’s CEO and Founder, Jonathan Ross, was joined by Saudi Aramco’s Chief Technology Officer, Ahmad O. Al-Khowaiter, to demonstrate real-time AI applications which included sophisticated reasoning LLMs, the locally developed model Allam, and live text-to-speech systems operating in both English and Arabic.
This investment supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, which emphasizes the importance of AI and digital transformation in diversifying the nation’s economy. Jonathan Ross expressed pride in supporting this ambitious vision, highlighting Groq’s eagerness to collaborate with local innovators to shape the future of AI in the region.
Groq specializes in high-speed AI inference solutions utilizing its proprietary Language Processing Unit (LPU) technology, enhancing AI computation speed, quality, and energy efficiency. The company, headquartered in Silicon Valley, offers scalable AI solutions for both cloud and on-premises deployments, with all its LPU components developed and manufactured in North America.
