Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS) announced on Friday its agreement to acquire Eigen AI, a firm specializing in model optimization and inference, for approximately $643 million. The transaction, structured as a combination of cash and stock, is designed to integrate Eigen AI's technical stack into the Nebius ecosystem. The move is a strategic effort to bolster the 'Nebius Token Factory,' the company's frontier managed inference platform. By merging Eigen AI's optimization expertise with Nebius's existing global compute capacity and AI cloud infrastructure, the company intends to improve model performance and unit economics for its clients. Beyond the technology, the acquisition brings a team of elite inference research talent to Nebius's internal R&D division. Roman Chernin, co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Nebius, stated that the integration will position the Token Factory at the forefront of inference, providing scalable compute capacity to back the platform at scale. The deal is expected to close within the coming weeks. Following the announcement, NBIS shares saw a modest uptick in pre-market trading, rising 1.61% to $140.45 on the Nasdaq.
