SAN JOSE, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GMI Cloud, a leader in AI-native GPU cloud infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership with Magna AI to jointly architect, deploy, and scale a global network of sovereign AI Factories (AIFs). The initiative will support governments, enterprises, and national AI programs seeking secure, high-performance AI infrastructure designed for long-term digital sovereignty.
The partnership will initially focus on projects in Malaysia, Belgium, and Romania, with additional deployments under development across the Middle East and Africa. Built around next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 architecture, these AI Factories will provide sovereign AI infrastructure, GPU cloud services, and AI security capabilities to support large-scale AI training, inference, agentic AI applications, and national AI platforms.
As countries accelerate investments in AI, demand is growing for infrastructure that enables local control over data, compliance with national regulations, and reduced dependence on foreign-controlled platforms. Governments increasingly view AI computing capacity as a strategic asset critical to economic growth, technological competitiveness, and national resilience.
"Governments increasingly recognize AI infrastructure as a strategic national asset," said Alex Yeh, CEO of GMI Cloud. "Our mission is to help nations design, build, and operate sovereign AI platforms that enable innovation, security, and long-term competitiveness. We believe sovereign AI will become a foundational pillar of future economic development."
The partnership combines complementary strengths from multiple industry leaders. GMI Cloud contributes proven expertise in AI-native GPU cloud infrastructure, AI Factory deployment, and large-scale inference operations. Magna AI provides an end-to-end AI transformation platform integrating infrastructure, applications, and services into a scalable sovereign AI model. The collaboration is further strengthened by Trend Micro's cybersecurity expertise and Wistron Digital Technology Holding Company's extensive capabilities in hardware manufacturing and systems integration.
"Sovereign AI is becoming a foundation for future economic and technological competitiveness," said Dr. Moataz BiAali, CEO of Magna AI. "Together with GMI Cloud, we are enabling countries to accelerate AI adoption through secure, resilient, and scalable sovereign AI infrastructure."
The companies have already initiated joint planning activities covering site evaluation, infrastructure architecture, compliance requirements, and phased deployment strategies, with groundbreaking activities expected to begin later this year.

GMI Cloud and Magna AI Partner to Expand Global Sovereign AI Infrastructure
SAN FRANCISCO, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Reka, an AI research lab building foundational intelligence for the physical world, has joined forces with Moonvalley, adding a team of AI researchers and engineers to accelerate development of models and infrastructure for the physical AI era.
The merger brings Mateusz Malinowski, PhD, Mikołaj Bińkowski, PhD along with a team of former DeepMind, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Wayve, and Runway researchers and engineers to Reka. Malinowski, previously a staff research scientist, and Bińkowski, previously a senior research scientist at Google DeepMind — both key contributors to models that became Google's Veo — join Reka's research leadership.
Reka's mission is to develop AI that reasons, simulates, and acts in the physical world. Their models are built to solve the most complex real-world challenges, powering everything from autonomous defense and intelligent robots to next-generation wearables and media.
"Physical AI is fundamentally a research problem," said Dani Yogatama, CEO of Reka. "This team brings world-class expertise in video generation and multimodal models. Together, we're building AI systems that understand and act in the physical world, from simulation to robotics to real-time decision-making."
"We're building models that don't just generate video. They understand how the physical world works," said Mateusz Malinowski. "That means simulating motion, physics, and temporal dynamics in ways that enable robots to reason about consequences before they act—enabling a much safer, more responsible AI. Our joint approach to unifying simulation and reasoning in a single system is the right move."
The combined team will focus on World Language Action Model (WLAM), a unique omni model that is trained on egocentric and other physical world data to be able to perceive and act in the real world by performing realistic simulation for planning. The model can generate high-fidelity multimodal outputs, translate multimodal perception to robotic execution due to its state-of-the-art spatial and temporal awarenesses, and perform nuance reasoning over long-form and streaming video.
Reka continues to operate across four pillars:
- Reka Labs — Research and development of foundational intelligence for the physical world.
- Reka Infer — Inference infrastructure and API for multimodal AI.
- Reka Vision — Video processing infrastructure platform to tag, reason, search, and clip large volumes of video data.
- Reka Claru — Training data and for physical AI, including egocentric videos, robotics trajectories, world-model footage, and expert human judgement at scale.
Reka is actively hiring across research, engineering, and product. Enterprise partners interested in early access to Reka's platforms can contact the team directly.
