UAE artificial intelligence startup AIREV has formed a strategic partnership with U.S. semiconductor firm Tenstorrent to jointly develop and deploy a high-performance agentic AI stack for enterprise and sovereign applications. The collaboration represents a significant step in expanding the global presence of UAE-developed AI technologies, combining AIREV’s software expertise with U.S.-designed hardware.

“Our partnership with Tenstorrent shows that Emirati AI isn’t just regional—it’s globally viable, globally scalable, and now globally validated,” said Muhammad Khalid, CEO of AIREV.

As part of the agreement, AIREV’s agentic AI platform, OnDemand, will be deployed on Tenstorrent’s hardware infrastructure. A dedicated Agentic AI Development Node will be established in the UAE to demonstrate the system’s performance across enterprise and public sector environments. The platform is designed for secure, on-premise deployment, addressing data sovereignty and high-security requirements.

Tenstorrent, led by veteran chip designer Jim Keller, develops AI-focused architectures, including high-performance RISC-V CPUs and configurable chiplets, supported by an open-source software stack.

The partnership embeds AIREV’s agentic platform directly into Tenstorrent’s hardware, demonstrating its potential for regulated industries and mission-critical applications.

Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller added, “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.”

Following system validation, AIREV and Tenstorrent plan to launch a co-branded international strategy targeting regulated industries, enterprises, and public sector clients across North America, Asia, and the Gulf region.

According to AIREV, the collaboration supports the UAE’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031, which emphasizes exporting homegrown innovation as a key driver of economic diversification and global competitiveness.
