Cloud infrastructure provider Nscale has agreed to acquire AI software startup Anyscale, the companies confirmed on Thursday.

The transaction is designed to help Nscale’s clients manage and run artificial intelligence systems more efficiently by integrating software capabilities directly with its cloud infrastructure offerings.

Bloomberg News first reported the acquisition.

The move signals a strategic shift toward vertical integration, as infrastructure providers seek to capture more value from the AI stack beyond raw compute power.

By bringing Anyscale’s software expertise in-house, Nscale aims to streamline the deployment and management of AI workloads for enterprise customers.

This development adds to a broader trend of consolidation within the technology sector, particularly around AI and data center infrastructure.
