In a bid to capture more of its customers’ AI spending, British AI neocloud Nscale is buying software startup Anyscale, which helps companies scale their AI workloads across data centers and servers. Nscale is paying $1.65 billion for Anyscale, Bloomberg reported, citing an anonymous source. A deal to buy Anyscale would fall neatly into Nscale’s focus on building vertically to serve compute needs. Nscale this March raised $2 billion in a Series C round that saw it valued at $14.6 billion. Nscale said Anyscale will continue to operate under its own branding and serve its existing customers.
