Nebius acquires Israeli AI infrastructure startup Inferize in a deal estimated at $100 million to $150 million, adding technology intended to reduce idle GPU capacity. Founded in early 2026 by former Granulate founding-team members Guy Bortnikov and Lior Gorbonos, Inferize has a working prototype developed within three months, a seed round led by TLV Partners, and 17 employees. Its software is designed to scale inference capacity with demand and will add to Nebius’s Token Factory platform.
Clarifai adds vendor-agnostic orchestration to its AI life cycle platform, letting customers manage and allocate computing resources across cloud providers and on-premises machines from one control panel. The system automates resource management and optimization for AI workflows based on factors such as cost and performance, building on a dashboard released in October. It also lets customers bundle smaller AI models from different sources to better manage compute resources.
Clarifai closes a $60 million Series C round led by New Enterprise Associates, bringing its total funding to $100 million. The company will use the funding to grow its deep learning platform for unstructured and unlabeled data.
