Nvidia has [1]completed its acquisition of Run:ai , a provider of GPU cloud orchestration software for AI workloads, and announced plans to open-source the platform. The deal, [2]valued at $700 million , brings the Israel-based startup under Nvidia's umbrella after their collaboration since 2020.

Run:ai's software helps enterprises manage and schedule Nvidia GPU resources for AI applications across cloud and on-premises environments. Founded in 2018, the company's platform currently supports only Nvidia GPUs, but open-sourcing will enable expansion to other AI ecosystems, according to founders Omri Geller and Ronen Dar. The acquisition strengthens Nvidia's software portfolio as the company, now valued at $3.56 trillion, expands beyond its core graphics chip business into AI infrastructure management.
