Lambda 拟 IPO 前融资 40 亿美元，估值 145 亿
原标题：AI computing startup Lambda to raise $4B ahead of planned IPO
AI 摘要
AI 云计算初创公司 Lambda 正以 145 亿美元投前估值融资至多 40 亿美元，由 Coatue Management 和 Blackstone 领投，这可能是其 2027 年计划 IPO 前的最后一轮私募融资。据《华尔街日报》看到的投资者信，Lambda 的积压订单从 6 月的 150 亿美元增至 9 月的 500 亿美元，但其中很大一部分来自 Anthropic 在 8 月底签署的 350 亿美元承诺，意味着其估值可能高度依赖 Anthropic 的持续付款能力。数据中心建设主要靠债务融资，Lambda 上周刚额外融资 10 亿美元，此次融资既为其 IPO 定价定调，也让其在面对公开市场审查前获得更多资金。
