“The winner will not just produce the best model, but will do so in the cheapest, fastest way”
Decart General Manager Noy Levinson argues that by applying the "cyber playbook" to AI, Israel can leverage its unique expertise in hardware and resource-constrained problem-solving to build high-performance, cost-efficient infrastructure at scale.

“Israel knows hardware. Israel knows deep, complex system solving. If we replicate [cyber’s] playbook, we will be able to build an AI infrastructure out of Israel,” said Noy Levinson, general manager at Decart.
Levinson spoke with CTech’s Allon Sinai during the Calcalist and Bank Leumi Mind the Tech New York 2026 conference. She elaborated on the advantage that comes with operating within a crowded market as an Israeli company.
“Israel’s edge is doing more with less. We are trained to solve really complex problems under constraints with limited resources. In order to build an insane [AI] model company, the winner is not the one that will just produce [the best] model - but the one that will produce this model in the cheapest way, faster and at-scale, and this is the unfair advantage that the talent in Israel and the talent density in Israel can bring to the table.”
