Nvidia's Acquisition of Run:ai and Delivery of DGX H200 to OpenAI Signal Major Advances in AI Industry

Nvidia announced that it has completed the acquisition of Run:ai, a Tel Aviv-based AI hardware infrastructure management company. Though the exact acquisition sum remains undisclosed, reports suggest it could reach up to $1 billion.

The Run:ai platform provides AI developers and their teams with:

• A centralized interface to manage shared compute infrastructure, enabling easier and faster access for complex AI workloads.
• Functionality to add users, curate them under teams, provide access to cluster resources, control over quotas, priorities and pools, and monitor and report on resource use.
• The ability to pool GPUs and share computing power — from fractions of GPUs to multiple GPUs or multiple nodes of GPUs running on different clusters — for separate tasks.
• Efficient GPU cluster resource utilization, enabling customers to gain more from their compute investments.

Nvidia plans to integrate Run:ai's offerings into its DGX Cloud AI platform, benefiting enterprise customers by providing access to compute infrastructure and software for training AI models. The acquisition represents a significant move in Nvidia's strategic expansion and aligns with its goal of enhancing AI computing resources for its customers.
