Meta Platforms has announced a major multiyear partnership with Nvidia to grow and speed up its artificial intelligence infrastructure. This partnership deepens collaboration between the two tech giants as global demand for AI computing rises. The agreement will have Meta using millions of Nvidia’s AI chips and associated hardware across its data centers in the coming years.
As part of the expanded deal, Meta will integrate many Nvidia technologies. This includes the current Blackwell and upcoming Rubin AI accelerators, along with Nvidia’s Grace and Vera central processing units (CPUs). These technologies will support both AI training and inference workloads in Meta’s hyperscale data centers. This will enable Meta’s generative AI services, personalization systems, and large-scale models.
The deal also includes advanced networking solutions like Nvidia’s Spectrum-X Ethernet platform and data security features such as Nvidia Confidential Computing. This will help Meta improve performance, scalability, and privacy for AI projects. Meta plans to use these chips in its on-premises systems and work with cloud partners, further strengthening its computing infrastructure.
Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg described this collaboration as a step toward achieving what the company calls “personal superintelligence.” This means AI capabilities that can offer highly personalized assistance and experiences to billions of users worldwide. While the financial details were not disclosed, industry analysts estimate the agreement could be worth tens of billions of dollars over its span, highlighting the scale of Meta’s AI investments.
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang also pointed out the strategic importance of the deal. He noted the companies’ long history of building infrastructure for large-scale AI operations. This close relationship positions Nvidia as a key supplier of essential AI hardware at a time when demand for high-performance computing is increasing and hyperscale cloud builders are securing long-term chip supplies.
This partnership takes place during an intense industry race to develop and deploy AI infrastructure. Meta is heavily investing in its own silicon development while also securing external supply. Other tech companies are entering similar long-term AI hardware agreements. For Nvidia, this deal strengthens its position as a leader in selling specialized processors and systems for large-scale AI tasks, even as competition from other companies rises.
