Saudi HUMAIN unveils revolutionary Agentic AI PC
Horizon Pro with HUMAIN ONE OS showcases future of agentic AI PCs
#USA #SaudiArabia #AIPCs - Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) company HUMAIN has unveiled the Horizon Pro PC, a revolutionary Agentic AI laptop powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processor, which operates up to 100 times faster than human thought processing. The device, announced by CEO Tareq Amin during the Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii, features the proprietary HUMAIN ONE operating system and integrates the Arabic-first Saudi large language model ALLAM for local AI processing with hybrid cloud capabilities. The enterprise-focused laptop offers zero-latency wake time, over 18 hours battery life, and 40% power reduction compared to competing systems whilst supporting agentic AI workflows through unified enterprise interfaces designed to anticipate user needs.
SO WHAT? - HUMAIN’s new Horizon Pro AI laptop is not only the first AI-native device designed and developed in the Middle East, it is also a world-first delivering an agentic AI interface. The company has developed its own HUMAIN ONE operating system allowing users to control the machine and seamlessly use a variety of AI agents via conversational AI. Built with the Snapdragon X Elite processor, the Horizon Pro AI PC runs Saudi Arabia’s ALLAM foundation model locally and so can run AI models both on-device and via the cloud. HUMAIN CEO Tareq Amin also announced plans for an aggressive go-to-market strategy with pricing that he promised would be 40% less than competitors devices.
