What Lambda is building with NVIDIA at GTC Berlin 2026

Lambda — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 11:20:47 GMT

Lambda is joining the AI ecosystem at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026 around a shared set of priorities: making AI safer, more secure, and more efficient to run at scale.

Lambda to integrate open-source NVIDIA Run:ai with its Managed Kubernetes Service

Lambda — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 14:32:00 GMT

We welcome NVIDIA's decision to release NVIDIA Run:ai as open source, and we're working to make it a first-class option on Lambda Kubernetes Service (LKS).

ReLearn at CVPR 2026: can AI still learn from humans?

Jianwen Xie — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 22:14:56 GMT

AI has advanced fast by scaling models, data, and compute. As foundation models get more capable, an old question is coming back...

Lambda closes $1 billion senior secured fixed rate financing

Lambda — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 23:08:14 GMT

Marks Lambda’s first $1 billion-plus institutional debt financing marketed to insurance companies and fixed income investors, and second institutional credit facility, expanding access to capital to support committed AI infrastructure deployments

From world models to active agents: the next step for physical AI

Jianwen Xie — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:37:02 GMT

Generative AI has made remarkable progress in creating increasingly realistic representations of the world. Image models can synthesize photorealistic scenes, video models can generate complex dynamics over time, and emerging world models are beginning to capture geometry, motion, and interaction.

Open Jarvis: making local LLMs work as agents

caia.costello@lambdal.com (Caia Costello) — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 14:49:50 GMT

Running an open-weight model is only half the job. The other half is the harness: what tells the model what to do, which tools it can use, and how to learn from its mistakes.

Lambda to build new data center in Mayes County, Oklahoma, generating half a billion dollars in tax revenue over next decade

Lambda — Sun, 27 Sep 2026 14:01:36 GMT

Facility will be built in MidAmerica Industrial Park & deploy closed-loop cooling technology to preserve and recycle water; all energy costs paid in compliance with Oklahoma’s ratepayer protections

Building multimodal models for spatial reasoning

Jianwen Xie — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 19:58:32 GMT

What is spatial reasoning?

AI is moving beyond the digital world. The next generation of AI systems needs to understand and interact with physical environments, from robots to autonomous systems navigating complex spaces.

From structures to dynamics: scaling AI for molecular dynamics in drug discovery

Jianwen Xie — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:26:34 GMT

Why molecular dynamics matters for drug discovery

Molecular dynamics (MD) is an important tool in modern drug discovery. While structure prediction and molecular docking can show how a potential drug might fit into a protein, they provide only a snapshot. Molecules are constantly moving. MD simulations allow researchers to see how a drug and its target behave over time: whether the interaction remains stable, how the protein changes shape, and how the molecular system evolves.

Closing the loop: agentic evaluation for image editing foundation models

Jianwen Xie — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:29:33 GMT

Why evaluating image editing models is both critical and challenging

Instruction-based image editing is becoming a core capability of multimodal foundation models. Users can increasingly edit images simply by describing what they want: “remove the person in the background,” “make the car red,” or “move the chair next to the table.”
