US chip giant Nvidia Corp. has struck a deal to acquire Israeli deep learning developer Deci AI, “The Information” reports, according to a person involved in the deal. The report follows hard on the heels of yesterday’s official announcement by Nvidia that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Israeli AI infrastructure orchestration and management company Run:ai, for an estimated $680 million.
Deci AI is one of three Israeli companies developing language models - the others being Amnon Shashua’s AI21 Labs and Tabnine. Both Run:ai and Deci AI will help Nvidia’s customers produce more from the GPUs and AI servers they lease or buy. While Run:ai improves the efficiency of each chip and allows a greater number of applications and workloads to be run on it, Deci “compresses” generative AI language models and allows them to work more efficiently on each Nvidia server.
Fuck nvidia and israel as well
Intel too
