Previously, the European regulator had expressed concerns that the acquisition could strengthen Nvidia’s control over the market for graphics processing units (GPUs) actively used in AI-related tasks. Nvidia currently has about 80% of the AI GPU market. However, after a detailed examination, the commission concluded that the transaction did not violate competition.
The deal is also under investigation by the US Department of Justice. American and European regulators are increasingly tightening their grip on mergers and acquisitions of big tech companies, fearing reduced competition and the emergence of monopolies.
Run:ai, on the other hand, announced plans to provide access to its software on an open source basis. This will allow their solutions to be used not only with Nvidia GPUs but also other components, creating a more open and competitive ecosystem for AI development.
