Abu Dhabi: AIREV, a fast-growing UAE AI startup, has entered a strategic partnership with Tenstorrent, the US-based AI chip company, to co-develop and deploy a high-performance agentic AI stack designed for enterprise and sovereign use. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for UAE-born AI, emphasizing its global scalability and maturity through US hardware integration.
According to Emirates News Agency, Tenstorrent, founded by veteran chip designer Jim Keller, is at the forefront of designing AI-focused architectures and high-performance RISC-V CPUs, along with configurable chiplets and an open-source software stack. In this partnership, AIREV's sovereign-grade agentic platform, OnDemand, will be deployed directly on Tenstorrent's hardware. A dedicated Agentic AI Development Node will be launched in the UAE to showcase the solution's performance under real-world enterprise and public sector workloads, with secure, airtight on-premise deployment as a core feature.
Muhammad Khalid, CEO of AIREV, stated, "This is more than a technical integration-it's about exporting the UAE's AI capability to the world. Our partnership with Tenstorrent shows that Emirati AI isn't just regional-it's globally viable, globally scalable, and now globally validated."
Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting, "We're excited to partner with AIREV and their team of developers. The integration of Tenstorrent's hardware with their agentic AI solution will be great for cloud, on-prem, and high-security deployments, and we're excited to enable AI innovation in the UAE."
Upon successful validation, AIREV and Tenstorrent plan to activate a co-branded global strategy targeting regulated industries, enterprises, and public sector institutions across North America, Asia, and the Gulf. Khalid added, "With this partnership, we're building the infrastructure and the playbook to take UAE AI global. It aligns perfectly with the UAE's 2031 AI Vision, where exporting innovation-not just importing it-is central to diversifying our economy and establishing the UAE as a true AI powerhouse."
