Saudi Firm OmniOps Launches Bunyan Inference Hub for AI Models Hosted in the Kingdom

The hub is meant to help customers meet data residency and security requirements, the company said in a press release dated November 11. Those requirements are a central concern for Saudi public bodies and regulated industries that want to use generative AI without sending data abroad.

According to the release, customers can pick models from a catalogue or bring their own, buy fixed bundles of tokens across supported models, or rent dedicated GPU infrastructure when they need more capacity or want to keep their workloads separate. The platform sends each request to a suitable model and hardware, manages scaling and monitors performance. Organisations can also set usage limits and track token consumption by team.

OmniOps said the hub runs on its own inference optimisation engine, built by its research team, which the company says makes better use of GPUs and lowers the cost per token. The software works across different GPUs and AI accelerators, so customers are not tied to one chip supplier. The company did not name the models on offer, give prices beyond the token-bundle structure, disclose its computing capacity or name any customers.

Mohammed Altassan, the company's founding chief executive, said the platform ensures "the consumption of AI models is managed efficiently and with the correct security and cost guardrails." He said it combines the company's Bunyan inference technology with its experience of sovereign AI deployments in a simpler package for public and private sector organisations.

The hub builds on Bunyan, which OmniOps launched in July 2025 and described as Saudi Arabia's first sovereign inference-as-a-service platform.

In its announcement, the company cited ServiceNow research showing that Saudi-based organisations increased AI spending by 124% year on year and plan to devote 20% of their IT budgets to AI through 2027. It also cited a Gartner forecast that global spending on AI inference workloads will reach $23.3 billion by the end of 2026.
