with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to bring tens of millions of AWS Graviton cores into Meta\u2019s compute portfolio, making us one of the largest Graviton customers in the world. Processing cores are units inside CPUs that make it possible for CPUs to carry out workloads essential to the next generation of complex agentic AI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis agreement builds on Meta\u2019s long-standing relationship with AWS, and expanding to include Amazon\u2019s custom silicon supports our broader goal of diversifying compute to meet the demands of the AI systems we\u2019re building. The first deployment will start with tens of millions of Graviton cores, with the flexibility to expand as our AI capabilities grow.<\/span><\/p>\nCore Processing for the Future of AI<\/h2>\n
As Meta deepens its work with agentic AI \u2014 autonomous systems that reason, plan, and execute complex tasks \u2014 compute requirements are evolving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t just about chips; it\u2019s about giving customers the infrastructure foundation, as well as data and inference services, to build AI that understands, anticipates, and scales efficiently to billions of people worldwide. Meta\u2019s expanded partnership, deploying tens of millions of Graviton cores, shows what happens when you combine purpose-built silicon with the full AWS AI stack to power the next generation of agentic AI.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\u2013 Nafea Bshara, Vice President and Distinguished Engineer, Amazon\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAWS Graviton5 cores offer faster data processing and greater bandwidth critical for AI systems that need to continuously reason through and execute tasks at scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOur Portfolio Approach<\/h2>\n
Our deal with AWS reflects a straightforward principle behind our infrastructure strategy: building AI at Meta\u2019s scale requires a diversified approach to infrastructure. We invest in our own data centers and custom hardware. We partner with cloud providers who bring differentiated capabilities. And we continuously evaluate which architectures are best suited to which workloads. Adding AWS Graviton cores to our workload helps us ensure we have the right compute for the right workload.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\u201cAs we scale the infrastructure behind Meta\u2019s AI ambitions, diversifying our compute sources is a strategic imperative. AWS has been a trusted cloud partner for years, and expanding to Graviton allows us to run the CPU-intensive workloads behind agentic AI with the performance and efficiency we need at our scale.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\u2013 Santosh Janardhan, Head of Infrastructure, Meta.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAs we continue to grow the systems behind Meta AI and agentic experiences that serve billions of people, partnerships like this one are a key part of how we build \u2014 efficiently, flexibly, and at the pace our ambitions require.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
