Nscale以16.5亿美元收购Anyscale，加强AI计算栈布局

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Nscale1。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.
