Meta has signed a multibillion-dollar, multiyear agreement with Amazon Web Services to deploy tens of millions of Graviton5 cores in support of agentic AI workloads.

The exact financial terms or timeline were not shared, but AWS confirmed the agreement represents a multibillion-dollar deal over several years. Meta said the deal will make it one of the largest Graviton customers in the world.

AWS launched its Graviton5 CPUs in December 2025, claiming the hardware has an efficient design that reduces inter-core communication latency by up to 33 percent. Each chip has 192 cores.

Santosh Janardhan, head of infrastructure at Meta, said diversifying compute sources is a strategic imperative. Nafea Bshara, VP and distinguished engineer at Amazon, said Meta's expanded partnership shows what happens when purpose-built silicon is combined with the full AWS AI stack to power the next generation of agentic AI.

This is Meta's latest CPU-focused deal in recent months. In February 2026, the company signed an agreement with Nvidia for its first large-scale Grace-only deployment.
