Our take

Lambda is a leading provider of deep learning GPU cloud services and computing hardware, founded to aid in providing a solution to the difficult problem of teaching machines how to see and learn.

Their customers include Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Linkedin, and Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft and Amazon Research, so it's no coincidence that Lambda GPU Cloud ranks number three on a google search for 'GPU cloud', behind only NVIDIA and Google itself.

After a successful 2025, the company is now looking at an initial public offering in the second half of 2026. This comes after the company signed a multi-billion-dollar contract with Microsoft to provide the hyperscaler with access to its GPUs, and it's also believed to have signed a $1.5B lease-back deal with Nvidia. This, coupled with significant funding put Lambda in a very good position for future growth.
