NVIDIA and Meta Sign Multiyear AI Infrastructure Deal

NVIDIA and Meta Platforms have signed a multiyear, multigenerational strategic partnership. It spans on-premises, cloud, and AI infrastructure.

Meta will build hyperscale data centers optimized for both training and inference in support of the company’s long-term AI infrastructure roadmap. This partnership will enable the large-scale deployment of NVIDIA CPUs and millions of Blackwell and Rubin GPUs, as well as the integration of Spectrum-X Ethernet switches for the Facebook Open Switching System platform.

“No one deploys AI at Meta’s scale, integrating frontier research with industrial-scale infrastructure to power the world’s largest personalization and recommendation systems for billions of users,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Through deep codesign across CPUs, GPUs, networking, and software, we are bringing the full NVIDIA platform to Meta’s researchers and engineers as they build the foundation for the next AI frontier.” “We’re excited to expand our partnership with NVIDIA to build leading-edge clusters using their Vera Rubin platform to deliver personal superintelligence to everyone in the world,” said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta.

The companies are continuing to partner on deploying Arm-based Grace CPUs for Meta’s data center production applications, delivering significant performance-per-watt improvements in its data centers. The collaboration represents the first large-scale Grace-only deployment, supported by codesign and software optimization investments in CPU ecosystem libraries to improve performance per watt with every generation. The companies are also collaborating on deploying Vera CPUs, with the potential for large-scale deployment in 2027, further extending Meta’s energy-efficient AI compute footprint and advancing the broader Arm software ecosystem.
