Nvidia has finally completed its acquisition of Run:ai, which has been in the works since April when the GPU giant announced it wanted to purchase the AI software company. Run:ai offers GPU orchestration software to organize groups of GPUs more efficiently and has been a close partner with Nvidia since 2020; in fact, the only GPUs Run:ai currently supports are those made by Nvidia. The company was founded in 2018, around the same time Nvidia started dipping its toes into artificial intelligence with technologies like deep learning supersampling. The company says it will open-source its software.
Neither company has confirmed the deal's worth, but Nvidia reportedly spent around $700 million to acquire Run:ai.
