Lambda Inks Multibillion-Dollar AI Infrastructure Deal with Microsoft

Lambda, the Nvidia‑backed cloud‑computing firm, announced a multi‑billion‑dollar agreement with Microsoft to deploy tens of thousands of Nvidia GPUs, including the new GB300 NVL72 systems, deepening an eight‑year partnership. While the exact dollar amount was not disclosed, the deal adds significant AI super‑computing capacity to Microsoft’s Azure platform, which opened its first GB300 cluster in October. The announcement follows a wave of large AI‑compute contracts, such as Microsoft’s $9.7 billion deal with IREN and OpenAI’s $38 billion pact with Amazon, highlighting soaring demand for AI infrastructure. Lambda, which has raised $1.7 billion in venture funding, is positioning itself as a key supplier in this expanding market.
