According to foreign media "Information", Nvidia is about to acquire Lepton AI, a well-known AI startup, with the transaction amount expected to be hundreds of millions of dollars. This move marks Nvidia's active entry into the cloud computing and enterprise software markets, striving to compete with major cloud service providers such as Amazon and Google.
Lepton AI was founded two years ago by famous scientist Jia Yangqing and his team. The company focuses on building new infrastructure for the AI era and is committed to simplifying the construction and deployment of AI models. Unlike many startups, Lepton AI does not directly train large models, but provides the infrastructure needed to help developers develop AI applications efficiently.
Lepton AI’s core products include the Python SDK and cloud computing platform. With the Python SDK, developers can easily deploy AI models with very little code without going into complex technical details. After the deployment is completed, developers can quickly implement application functions with just simple commands, greatly reducing the technical threshold. Its cloud platform provides on-demand computing resources, including CPU and GPU, etc., and developers can easily host AI applications through cloud services, eliminating the hassle of managing servers by themselves.
It is worth mentioning that Jia Yangqing is a scientist who has attracted much attention in the field of AI. He has worked in many well-known institutions and has participated in the development of many important projects. Under his leadership, Lepton AI’s goal is to solve the speed, cost and quality problems of the AI infrastructure layer, and is committed to making AI technology more convenient for more developers and enterprises.
As this deal approaches, the industry and the industry are full of expectations for the future of Jia Yangqing and Lepton AI. How Nvidia will incorporate Lepton AI’s technology into its cloud infrastructure will be a focus of attention.
