据 The Information 报道，英伟达正在洽谈向澳大利亚 AI 云服务公司 Firmus Grid Ltd. 投资数亿美元，此前该公司放弃了首次公开募股（IPO）计划。
Corp. is in discussions to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Firmus Grid Ltd. after the Australian AI cloud company abandoned an initial public offering, the Information reported.
该新闻网站援引知情人士称，此举表明英伟达将继续支持“新云”企业——这一背负债务的 AI 云服务提供商群体。作为全球市值最高的公司，英伟达已经是 Firmus 及其多家同行的投资者。
The move signals that Nvidia will continue supporting neoclouds, a beleaguered group of debt-laden AI cloud providers, the news site said, citing unidentified people familiar with the talks. Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, is already an investor in Firmus and a number of its peers.
总部位于加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉的英伟达发言人未立即回应置评请求。
A spokesperson for Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
此前报道称，Firmus 本月早些时候取消了一项本将成为澳大利亚有史以来规模最大的 IPO 之一。该公司难以吸引全球投资者，后者对 AI 公司变得更加谨慎。彭博社此前曾报道，Firmus 正在考虑其他融资方案。
The report follows Firmus’ move earlier this month to scrap an IPO that would have been one of Australia’s biggest ever. The company struggled to lure global investors, who have grown more wary of AI companies. Bloomberg News previously reported that Firmus was considering other funding options.
