Chip giant Nvidia is in talks to acquire Israeli AI infrastructure orchestration and management company Run:ai, sources inform “Globes.”

Run:ai was founded in 2017 by Omri Geller, Dr. Ronen Dar, and Prof. Meir Feder. The company has developed technology that allows organizations and companies to realize their AI infrastructures. “We are perhaps the only company in the world that allows AI companies to get the most out of their infrastructures,” the founders have told “Globes” in the past. “We have built tools that allow AI teams, as well as researchers and developers, to nurture and implement models in their applications, much more easily, quickly and effectively.”
