Meta-NVIDIA ink massive multiyear deal for next-gen GPUs, standalone CPUs, and AI for WhatsApp

Meta Platforms has struck a sweeping, multiyear agreement with Nvidia that will see the social media company deploy “millions” of the chipmaker’s processors across its artificial intelligence data centres, deepening a partnership that has helped define the industry’s modern AI boom.

The deal, announced on Tuesday, broadens Meta’s use of Nvidia hardware beyond graphics processing units, with the company set to become the first major operator to roll out Nvidia’s Grace central processing units as standalone chips at scale.
