英国AI云计算公司Nscale宣布收购软件初创企业Anyscale，交易金额为16.5亿美元[1]。Anyscale是一个基于开源Ray框架构建的平台，专门帮助企业扩展AI工作负载[1]。此次收购是Nscale垂直整合战略的关键举措，旨在为客户打造从基础设施到软件层的完整AI计算栈[1]。
Anyscale在最近一个季度的收入环比增长了70%[1]。该公司在2022年C轮融资时的估值为13.8亿美元[1]。Anyscale的约200名员工将全部加入Nscale[1]。根据协议，Anyscale将继续以独立品牌运营，服务现有客户[1]。Nscale在3月完成了20亿美元的C轮融资，当时公司估值达到146亿美元[1]。
UK-based AI cloud company Nscale has announced the acquisition of Anyscale, a software startup that helps enterprises scale artificial intelligence workloads, for $1.65 billion [1]. The platform, built on the open-source Ray framework, represents a strategic addition to Nscale's efforts to vertically integrate and offer customers a complete AI computing stack spanning from infrastructure to software layers [1].
Anyscale has demonstrated strong momentum leading up to the deal, with revenue growing 70 percent sequentially in its most recent quarter [1]. The company's valuation at the time of acquisition represents a significant increase from its Series C funding round in 2022, when it was valued at $1.38 billion [1]. The transaction aligns with Nscale's expansion plans following its own $2 billion Series C round completed in March, which valued the company at $14.6 billion [1].
Approximately 200 Anyscale employees will join Nscale as part of the acquisition [1]. The company will continue operating as an independent brand and will maintain service to its existing customer base [1].
