The rest of the period through September 4 ranges from PsiBot's $100M+ Series A and Sarvam AI's $300M Series B to GPU financing lines and an HR software round. | Date | Deal | Amount | Round | Valuation | | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | -------- | --------- | | 2026-08-28 | [Emerald AI's $150M round puts a $1.05B price tag on flexible grid assets](https://bytevyte.com/emerald-ais-150m-round-puts-a-1-05b-price-tag-on-flexible-grid-assets/) | $150M | — | $1.05B | | 2026-08-28 | [PsiBot Series A: Industrial Capital Funds Embodied AI](https://bytevyte.com/psibot-series-a-industrial-capital-funds-embodied-ai/) | $100M | Series A | — | | 2026-08-29 | [RUM Group GPU Lease: $13.7B Bet on Renting AI Compute](https://bytevyte.com/rum-group-gpu-lease-13-7b-bet-on-renting-ai-compute/) | $13.7B | — | — | | 2026-08-29 | [Blue Owl Leads $2.4B GPU Equipment Financing for IREN](https://bytevyte.com/blue-owl-leads-2-4b-gpu-equipment-financing-for-iren/) | $2.4B | — | — | | 2026-08-29 | [Sarvam AI Series B adds IndiGo Ventures, $300M round](https://bytevyte.com/sarvam-ai-series-b-adds-indigo-ventures-300m-round/) | $300M | Series B | — | | 2026-08-31 | [EU AI Gigafactories Tender: A €30 Billion Compute Push Meets AI Act Enforcement](https://bytevyte.com/eu-ai-gigafactories-tender-a-eu30-billion-compute-push-meets-ai-act-enforcement/) | $30B | — | — | | 2026-08-31 | [Why the Anthropic MatX Acquisition Collapsed: Partnership Over Ownership](https://bytevyte.com/why-the-anthropic-matx-acquisition-collapsed-partnership-over-ownership/) | $7B | — | $4B | | 2026-09-01 | [How Anthropic's $35B Lambda Deal Turns Nvidia Into AI's Landlord](https://bytevyte.com/how-anthropics-35b-lambda-deal-turns-nvidia-into-ais-landlord/) | $35B | Ipo | — | | 2026-09-01 | [HiBob Funding Round Led by Salesforce Lifts HR Platform to $3.2B Value](https://bytevyte.com/hibob-funding-round-led-by-salesforce-lifts-hr-platform-to-3-2b-value/) | $3.2B | — | $3.2B | | 2026-09-02 | [SB Energy IPO puts OpenAI dependence at the heart of SoftBank's AI power play](https://bytevyte.com/sb-energy-ipo-puts-openai-dependence-at-the-heart-of-softbanks-ai-power-play/) | $439B | Ipo | — | ## AI Funding Tracker: Compute and Power Carry the Money The dominant pattern is capital flowing into infrastructure rather than model builders. \[RUM Group's GPU lease\](https://bytevyte.com/rum-group-gpu-lease-13-7b-bet-on-renting-ai-compute/), worth up to $13.7B over six years, turns a Tether-backed video platform into an AI compute landlord. \[Blue Owl\](https://bytevyte.com/blue-owl-leads-2-4b-gpu-equipment-financing-for-iren/) leads a $2.4B equipment financing for IREN's Mackenzie campus, funding Blackwell Ultra GPUs at 9%. \[Emerald AI\](https://bytevyte.com/emerald-ais-150m-round-puts-a-1-05b-price-tag-on-flexible-grid-assets/) raised $150M at a $1.05B valuation to make AI data centers flexible grid assets, backed by Nvidia and 12 Fortune Global 500 investors. Anthropic sits on both sides of that equation. Its planned \[MatX acquisition\](https://bytevyte.com/why-the-anthropic-matx-acquisition-collapsed-partnership-over-ownership/) collapsed on price, a $7B ask against a $4B valuation, pushing the lab toward partnerships with Samsung, Broadcom, and AMD. The $35B Lambda deal instead gives Nvidia a landlord's role across chips, lease, and equity, ahead of a reported $2T IPO. Nvidia appears across the tracker as an investor in Emerald AI and Sarvam AI and as guarantor for SB Energy's buildout. ## Equity Rounds and Public Compute Money The equity side of the AI funding tracker concentrated on India and enterprise software. \[Sarvam AI's $300M Series B\](https://bytevyte.com/sarvam-ai-series-b-adds-indigo-ventures-300m-round/) adds IndiGo Ventures to a cap table that already holds HCLTech and Nvidia, a signal of airline corporate-venture interest in India's sovereign AI push. \[PsiBot's $100M+ Series A\](https://bytevyte.com/psibot-series-a-industrial-capital-funds-embodied-ai/) draws Tuopu, Chery-backed Ruicheng, and Lens Technology into embodied AI for logistics and manufacturing. The \[Salesforce-led HiBob round\](https://bytevyte.com/hibob-funding-round-led-by-salesforce-lifts-hr-platform-to-3-2b-value/) valued the HR platform at $3.2B on a $166M raise as AI reshapes workforce management. Public capital is arriving at a larger scale. The \[EU AI Gigafactories tender\](https://bytevyte.com/eu-ai-gigafactories-tender-a-eu30-billion-compute-push-meets-ai-act-enforcement/) backs seven compute hubs with €30B+ as AI Act enforcement and information requests to frontier labs go live. The \[SB Energy IPO filing\](https://bytevyte.com/sb-energy-ipo-puts-openai-dependence-at-the-heart-of-softbanks-ai-power-play/) shows heavy OpenAI dependence behind a $439B backlog, $3.2B in first-half losses, and Nvidia guarantees for its AI buildout. Next period, watch how the SB Energy listing prices and whether the EU tender's €30B+ backing converts into funded gigafactory hubs. ## Related Articles - [How Anthropic's $35B Lambda Deal Turns Nvidia Into AI's Landlord](https://bytevyte.com/how-anthropics-35b-lambda-deal-turns-nvidia-into-ais-landlord/) - [AI Business Funding Tracker: A $50B OpenAI Stake and Robot IPOs Top the Week](https://bytevyte.com/ai-business-funding-tracker-a-50b-openai-stake-and-robot-ipos-top-the-week/) - [AI Funding Tracker: Intel's $20B Raise Leads a Busy Week](https://bytevyte.com/ai-funding-tracker-intels-20b-raise-leads-a-busy-week/) ✔Human Verified --- *Researched and cross-referenced against primary sources by the Bytevyte editorial team.
