Lambda, an AI cloud company, secured $1 billion in private short-term debt to purchase Nvidia AI chips, which it will lease to Microsoft. This move is part of Lambda's strategy to quickly deploy chips and generate revenue to repay the debt. The company has been actively raising loans to fund GPU infrastructure, including a $1 billion credit facility in May and a $926 million loan for Nvidia GB300 GPUs. Lambda is also reportedly negotiating a $3 billion pre-IPO funding round, following a $1.5 billion venture capital raise last year. This reflects a broader trend of heavy debt financing in the AI sector, with over $400 billion raised globally in AI-related debt in 2026 so far.
