Nscale Acquires Anyscale for $1.65 Billion in Strategic AI Expansion
British neocloud provider Nscale has acquired software startup Anyscale for $1.65 billion, aiming to strengthen its position across the AI compute stack. The acquisition allows Nscale to offer workload management and scaling services built around Ray, an open-source distributed computing framework developed by Anyscale's founding team. Anyscale pivoted toward large language model training and inference after GPT-3’s 2022 launch, growing its revenue by 70% in the most recent quarter. Nscale plans to integrate Anyscale into its broader infrastructure strategy while allowing it to operate under its own brand. The deal aligns with Nscale's $2 billion Series C funding round earlier this year and reflects a strategic push toward vertical integration across compute, data centers, orchestration software, and now AI scaling services.
