Building in Riyadh: A Nebius and NVIDIA dinner
The best conversations at LEAP happen over dinner, when the decks are closed and the real questions surface. What does GPU availability actually look like right now? What are inference costs doing at scale?
Nebius builds and operates GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, training to production inference. Together with NVIDIA, we’re in this room because we work with the teams doing this at scale, and we know what the real questions are.
Nebius and NVIDIA are co-hosting an evening at the African Lounge in Riyadh for AI builders in the region. Practitioners talking to practitioners.
On the table:
-
Why moving from experiment to production takes longer than it should
-
What AI builders in the region are working on right now
-
AI cloud architecture in practice
-
GPU availability, cost, and performance tradeoffs
-
Why Saudi Vision 2030 is driving real GPU demand in the region right now
Marco Canini, Professor of Computer Science at KAUST, will open the evening with a short keynote on the AI challenges KAUST is working on, from distributed infrastructure to autonomous agents, giving the room a firsthand view of where AI research in Saudi Arabia is heading.
Space is limited.
