NVIDIA Open Sources Full Run:ai Platform Inside Its DSX AI Factory
Summary
NVIDIA releases the full Run:ai platform as open source software inside its DSX AI Factory Platform, including KAI Scheduler, GPU Fractioning Operator, KAI Resource Management, and Workload Map. The company says KAI Scheduler ships under Apache 2.0 via CNCF, and GPU Fractioning Operator uses CUDA 13.4 native fractioning. Crusoe, Mirantis, Nebius, and Rafay are among eight partners integrating it.
Key Points
