Launches Bunyan: Saudi Arabia's First Inference-as-a-Service Platform by OmniOps
Saudi Arabia has taken a significant step forward in its digital transformation journey with the launch of Bunyan بنيان, the Kingdom's first sovereign Inference-as-a-Service platform. This groundbreaking platform, developed by OmniOps, Saudi Arabia's leading AI Infrastructure Technology provider, promises to optimise AI infrastructure while minimising operational costs.
Bunyan بنيان is designed to provide fast, secure, and cost-optimized AI inference capabilities tailored for local infrastructure and data sovereignty needs. The platform's cloud-native architecture supports deployment on cloud, on-premises, or hybrid infrastructure, ensuring full data sovereignty and freedom from vendor lock-in.
Key features of Bunyan بنيان include tools for deploying, automating, and scaling intelligent AI systems. These tools support fine-tuning private models, deploying open-source large language models (LLMs), and building autonomous AI agents aligned with specific business logic. The platform also enables AI-powered workflows, making it possible for enterprises and government entities to leverage AI in various use cases such as instant employee query resolution, 24/7 multilingual AI chatbots for customer support, quick summarization of lengthy documents, natural language querying of structured data without requiring SQL, and AI-assisted codebase understanding with real-time suggestions.
The launch of Bunyan بنيان was announced following a strategic meeting with H.E. Eng. Abdullah Amer Alswaha, Minister of Communications & Information Technology. The platform has demonstrated remarkable efficiency gains, including doubling inference speed and reducing energy consumption by over 50%. It has also reduced latency by at least 40%.
Bunyan بنيان ensures data sovereignty and compliance by allowing organisations to store and manage information across virtual and on-premise facilities. The platform offers a unified AI model catalogue, including large language models, speech recognition, and computer vision technologies. It supports both public and private models in a single, integrated platform, enabling accelerated model inference across text, vision, and speech applications.
Moreover, Bunyan بنيان provides an end-to-end AI infrastructure stack, simplifying large language model hosting and offering GPU-agnostic deployment. This makes it a game-changer for enterprises seeking to optimise their AI infrastructure while minimising operational costs.
Positioned as a strategic national platform to accelerate AI adoption and innovation within Saudi Arabia, Bunyan بنيان is backed by significant funding and governmental interest. It supports the Saudi National Strategy for Data and AI across critical sectors, including government, energy, aviation, and healthcare.
Mohammed Altassan, the Founding CEO of OmniOps, expressed his excitement about the launch, stating that Bunyan بنيان would contribute significantly to Saudi Arabia's digital transformation goals by enhancing security and sovereignty over AI infrastructure, providing cost efficiency, flexibility in deployment options, and accelerating the development of intelligent AI workflows customised for enterprise or government use cases.
In conclusion, Bunyan بنيان is a significant milestone in Saudi Arabia's digital transformation journey. It offers cutting-edge AI capabilities with full support for text, vision, and speech applications, positioning itself as a game-changing solution for enterprises seeking to optimise their AI infrastructure while minimising operational costs.
