NVIDIA's open-source GPU fractioning gives operators a way to share GPU capacity; Zesty is betting they will pay for the control layer that decides how to allocate it. The launch extends co-founders Maxim Melamedov and Alexey Baikov's cost-automation thesis, while GPU-specific savings and customer results remain unproven.

Zesty CEO and co-founder Maxim Melamedov is taking Zesty's cloud-cost automation into GPU sharing with a product that makes allocation decisions on top of NVIDIA's newly open-sourced Run:ai platform.
