Summary
According to people familiar with the matter, Lambda, an AI cloud computing provider backed by Nvidia, is in talks to raise up to $3 billion in a funding round that could pave the way for an IPO next year. The company, part of the 'new cloud providers' camp, rents out chips and other AI infrastructure, and is discussing a valuation of up to $12 billion or higher. Some insiders say the company's revenue is expected to exceed $1.5 billion this year.
Bubble analysis
This funding round shows that investors are still willing to pour huge sums into AI infrastructure companies at high valuations even though AI revenue has not fully materialized, a classic argument for a bubble: capital spending and valuations far exceed current revenue.
