Meta and Nvidia announced a multiyear deal in which the social media company agreed to buy billions of dollars worth of Nvidia chips for its infrastructure projects. The agreement includes a large-scale deployment of Nvidia CPUs and millions of Nvidia Blackwell and Rubin GPUs. Nvidia said Meta would build hyperscale data centers optimized for both training and inference in support of the company's long-term AI infrastructure roadmap.

Meta is the first tech giant to announce a large-scale purchase of Nvidia's Grace CPU as a stand-alone chip. The deal expands an ongoing partnership between the two companies. Meta previously estimated that by the end of 2025 it would have access to 1.3 million GPUs in total.

Meta declined to comment on the expanded deal. During a recent earnings call, the company said it planned to increase spending on AI infrastructure this year to between 115 billion and 135 billion dollars, up from 72.2 billion dollars last year. Nvidia also declined to comment on the new agreement.
