Nvidia's Acquisition of Run:AI

The European Commission reportedly granted unconditional approval to Nvidia's USD 700 million bid for Run:ai earlier in December, after saying in October that the deal would require EU antitrust clearance.

In April, Nvidia announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Run:ai, a Kubernetes-based workload management and orchestration software provider. According to Nvidia, the startup promotes efficient cluster resource utilisation for AI workloads across shared accelerated computing infrastructure.

"Run:ai's solutions are already integrated with Nvidia DGX, Nvidia DGX SuperPOD, NVIDIA Base Command, NGC containers, and Nvidia AI Enterprise software, among other products," Nvidia said at the time of the announcement on April 24.
