OmniOps launched Bunyan Inference Hub, a platform hosted in Saudi Arabia that gives governments, enterprises, startups and developers access to open-source AI models and computing resources, the company said in a press release carried by Wamda.com. The Saudi AI infrastructure company said the hub keeps data and AI workloads inside the Kingdom.

What Bunyan Inference Hub Offers Customers

Bunyan Inference Hub lets organizations access a catalogue of AI models or bring their own, and use computing resources without managing separate infrastructure for each model or use case. Customers access predefined token bundles across supported models and workloads, and dedicated GPU infrastructure is available for organizations that need additional capacity or isolation.

The platform runs on OmniOps' proprietary inference optimization engine, developed by the company's R&D team. According to the company, the engine adapts how AI models run on available hardware to match workload requirements, helping organizations improve GPU utilization, reduce the cost per token and maintain consistent performance as demand grows.

The hub can run across different GPUs and AI accelerators rather than relying on a single hardware provider. It routes requests to the appropriate model and computing resources, manages infrastructure scaling, and monitors performance and usage, and customers can set usage limits and track token consumption across teams.

"As entities embrace AI across functions and applications in their operations, ensuring that the consumption of AI models is managed efficiently and with the correct security and cost guardrails has never been more critical," said Mohammed Altassan, Founding CEO of OmniOps. "The new hub brings together our proprietary Bunyan Inference technology and experience in sovereign AI deployment in a simplified platform that public and private sector organizations can plug into their operations and use to deploy AI solutions more efficiently."

OmniOps' Funding and Observability Record

OmniOps is a Riyadh-based AI infrastructure provider founded in 2024, according to akta.pro company records. The same records show the company raised approximately $8 million in a funding round led by GMS Capital Ventures in December 2024, and list total funding of $8 million at Series A stage.

OmniOps' product line also includes Rekaz GPU orchestration and Advanced Observability platforms for government ministries, regulated enterprises, cloud providers and startups across the MENA region, the records show. The company's headcount range is listed as 51-100.

Tencent Cloud and HPE Partnerships Precede the Hub

OmniOps and Tencent Cloud announced a partnership at the 2026 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit to build enterprise AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, Aktien reported in November 2026.

In September 2026, OmniOps and HPE signed a memorandum of understanding at LEAP to advance sovereign AI in Saudi Arabia, combining HPE's Saudi Made infrastructure with OmniOps' locally developed AI platforms, Telecompaper reported. Wamda.com reported the same month that the MoU covers sovereign AI solutions built on HPE's Saudi-made infrastructure and OmniOps' Saudi-developed AI platforms.

In July 2026, OmniOps partnered with Arabic-first voice AI developer Hamsa to deploy locally hosted speech and conversational AI services for organizations across Saudi Arabia, Unite.AI reported.
