据近日消息，Google母公司Alphabet旗下的前沿技术研发实验室X正在进行一轮裁员，同时积极寻找外部投资者为实验室内部项目提供资金支持。消息源透露，过去数月，X实验室一直在与风险投资和其他潜在投资者进行融资洽谈。
一封致员工的匿名电子邮件显示，X实验室正在采纳一种新架构，该架构将使实验项目更易于从母体剥离，成立独立的创业公司。新架构不仅得到Alphabet的支持，也将获得外部支持者的帮助。
此次X实验室的重组和融资行动反映了当前科技研发机构在追求创新的同时，也面临着资金和运营的挑战。寻求外部资本注入，对于实验室而言，既是压力也是机遇，它可能加速实验室研究成果的市场化过程，同时也可能带来更多的创新合作机会。

Recent reports indicate that X Lab, the cutting-edge research division of Google parent company Alphabet, is undergoing a round of layoffs and actively seeking external investors to fund its internal projects. Sources close to the matter say that over the past few months, the lab has been in talks with venture capitalists and other potential investors for financing.
An anonymous email to employees shows that X Lab is adopting a new architecture that makes it easier for experimental projects to spin off from the parent organization into independent startups, with support from both Alphabet and external backers.
This restructuring and fundraising effort by X Lab reflects the challenges and opportunities that technology research institutions face in pursuit of innovation, while also dealing with financial and operational constraints. The move to seek external capital injection could not only accelerate the commercialization of the lab’s research findings but also open the door to more innovative partnership opportunities.
