Lambda Partners with Hudson River Trading to Power Quantitative Research and Development

HRT Turns to Lambda as On-Premise Infrastructure Reaches Its Ceiling

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, today announced a partnership with Hudson River Trading (HRT), a leading quantitative trading firm, to accelerate HRT’s trading research and development. Lambda is providing HRT access to NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure, including NVIDIA HGX B200 systems, advanced networking, storage, and orchestration, enabling its researchers to develop and refine trading algorithms at scale.

HRT's researchers run compute-intensive workloads to train models and simulate trading strategies at scale. As HRT demand for compute grew, the firm needed a partner that could rapidly deliver capacity, provide clear operational ownership, and ensure the uptime such workloads require. With Lambda, HRT gains a full-stack architecture that accelerates its research roadmap and expands the compute powering its quantitative work.

“Lambda stood out for its technical depth and operational clarity,” said Gerard Bernabeu Altayo, Compute Systems Lead at HRT. “We're confident we've found the right partner to help power our workloads.”

This partnership comes as Lambda continues to expand its AI infrastructure footprint, following six NVIDIA awards and a $1.5B+ Series E fundraise in November 2025. Lambda serves tens of thousands of customers ranging from individual researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers.

“HRT is exactly the kind of customer Lambda was built for: researchers who need massive amounts of compute and infrastructure that delivers,” said Stephen Balaban, co-founder and CTO of Lambda. “We're proud to power HRT's research, and we're here to make sure they have everything they need to do their best work.”

“Quantitative trading requires substantial computational power to train sophisticated models and run large-scale simulations that drive competitive advantage,” said Ioana Boier, Global Head of Capital Markets Strategy at NVIDIA. “By combining NVIDIA’s AI Trading Factory with Lambda’s AI cloud, HRT gains the performance needed to accelerate its most demanding research workloads and operate at market speed.”
