Tabby Launches Saudi AI Factory With NVIDIA HGX Systems

Tabby, the GCC buy-now-pay-later and financial services platform, is establishing an AI “factory” in Saudi Arabia using NVIDIA’s HGX systems to train and serve models locally, a move it says will accelerate its AI roadmap while retaining data sovereignty and meeting regulatory constraints. The company said it will initially use the infrastructure to power AI tools across customer support, fraud detection, risk scoring and shopping personalisation, adding that hosting systems in the Kingdom reduces latency and helps ensure compliance with regional rules on data residency. The rollout lands amid rising interest in regional AI infrastructure. Saudi Arabia is already engaged with NVIDIA on AI factory partnerships and plans to host thousands of advanced GPUs as part of sovereign computing initiatives. Tabby aims to translate the investment into differentiated user experiences and stronger risk controls. Tabby operates across the GCC with over 20 million registered users and more than 40,000 merchants. The fintech closed a $160 million Series E earlier this year at a $3.3 billion valuation and is reportedly preparing for an eventual IPO. NVIDIA’s HGX platform is engineered for high throughput, tightly coupled GPU clusters and maximum interconnect bandwidth to run large AI and high-performance computing workloads.
