Run:ai, which has been a close collaborator with Nvidia since 2020, has developed a Kubernetes-based container platform for AI clouds that efficiently pools and shares GPUs.

Following the acquisition, Nvidia plans to continue offering Run:ai’s products under the same business model and will continue to invest in the Run:ai product roadmap as part of NVIDIA DGX Cloud.
