American billionaire investor Bill Ackman has invested in 2Delta, an Israeli artificial intelligence company focused on accelerating AI models. Ackman is currently visiting Israel. The company, founded by Dvir Zeltzer, a former Google executive, and Dr. Eli David, who previously founded the sold company DeepCube, is reportedly valued at tens of millions of dollars and employs fewer than 10 people. Registered in Tel Aviv, 2Delta was established in 2025.
While the company's website offers limited information, it highlights a research demonstration showing a 3.5-fold acceleration in the performance of Nvidia's Nemotron AI model, conducted in collaboration with Nvidia. Dr. Eli David, a prominent AI figure with a significant following on X (formerly Twitter), discussed his extensive experience in the field. He noted that his online presence grew substantially after posting about the events in Israel on October 7th, attracting a large audience and becoming one of the most popular AI accounts on the platform. David expressed a desire for AI language models to be less restrictive and less "Woke," a sentiment likely shared by Ackman.
David also commented that current neural network architectures are "quite foolish" and present a significant opportunity for improvement in both speed and cost. He described the impact of 2Delta's technology as a "delta of two deltas," signifying a substantial advancement.
