Lambda announced that, beginning November 5, 2026, it is transitioning its primary web address from lambda.ai to lambda.com, positioning the new domain as the long-term home for its AI cloud platform. The company says the change will not require action from customers, as services, accounts, contracts, support, existing links, and email addresses will continue functioning during the transition, with older links redirecting to lambda.com. Lambda, founded in 2012 and describing itself as the “Superintelligence Cloud” since July 2025, provides computing infrastructure ranging from individual GPUs to large AI campuses for teams training and deploying advanced models. Customers may increasingly see the new domain in company communications and can report issues through lambda.com/support, while Lambda expects all official communications to eventually originate from lambda.com.

Lambda has announced plans to develop the Red Clay Technology Center Campus, a proposed $33.1 billion data center project in Lowndes County, Alabama, with construction expected to begin in early 2027 pending regulatory approval and continue for up to five years. The company projects the campus will create more than 1,000 construction jobs and over 225 permanent operations, technical, and support positions, while generating an estimated $3.4 billion in state and local tax revenue through 2049, including more than $1.6 billion for local public schools. Powered by Alabama Power, the facility is planned near U.S. Highway 80 and Alabama Highway 21 and will use closed-loop cooling technology intended to reduce water consumption. Lambda says it will cover required power and grid infrastructure costs, pursue water-conservation efforts with local farmers, incorporate buffers, noise controls, and DarkSky lighting, and invest $10 million through a community benefits agreement with the Central Alabama Community Foundation. Local officials and school representatives said the project could support schools, infrastructure, businesses, and workforce opportunities, while Lambda and Cloverleaf Infrastructure stated they will continue community engagement as planning and design proceed.

Lambda Cloud has introduced identity and access management in its console, adding role-based access control through users, groups, service identities, and predefined roles to support least-privilege access for people and automation. Workspaces determine where resources reside, while IAM roles determine permitted actions, requiring both workspace membership and appropriate permissions to access resources. Service identities provide dedicated accounts and API keys for scripts and pipelines, allowing organizations to avoid using personal keys, set expirations, rotate credentials, and revoke access as needed. Groups can contain users and service identities, inherit assigned roles, and simplify onboarding and offboarding, while an effective-access view helps administrators identify direct and inherited permissions. Only Account Admins and IAM Admins can manage IAM, existing Admin and Member access maps to new roles without disrupting current API keys, and automatic audit logs are retained for six months. The feature is free, supports up to 100 groups and 50 service identities per account, and is intended to help enterprise teams meet security and access-review requirements.
