Nvidia Completes $700M Run:ai Acquisition

The European Union’s antitrust authority had initially warned that Nvidia’s acquisition of Israeli AI company Run:ai could threaten competition in the markets where both firms operate.

However, the European Commission gave unconditional approval in early December, concluding that the $700 million deal would not pose competition concerns.

Run:ai specializes in optimizing infrastructure for AI developers. The investigation had focused on whether the deal could strengthen Nvidia’s dominance in the market for GPUs, critical components often used in AI tasks. Nvidia controls roughly 80% of the GPU market for AI, making it a key player in the field.

The U.S. Department of Justice is also reviewing the acquisition over antitrust concerns, as reported by Politico in August. Regulatory scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic has intensified over fears that tech giants’ acquisitions of startups could stifle potential rivals.

Run:ai plans to make its software open-source, which could broaden compatibility beyond Nvidia GPUs to support the entire AI ecosystem. The deal, first announced in April, marks another milestone in Nvidia’s expansion within the AI sector.

Nvidia Performance and Outlook
