Meta - a group that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp - has just announced a strategic cooperation with arm chip design company to expand AI capabilities in the context of the company investing heavily in global data infrastructure.
Under the agreement, Meta's content rating and suggestion systems will be moved to the Arm Neoverse platform, which is optimized for AI applications on the cloud computing platform. AI is changing the way people connect and create, said Santosh Janardhan, Metas Director of Infrastructure. our partnership with Arm has helped us expand innovation to more than 3 billion users.
The Arm company, known for its energy-saving CPU design, is pushing the GPU segment to compete with Nvidia in the AI field. According to CEO rene Haas: "The new era of AI will be shaped by large-scale energy efficiency and the partnership with Meta will help take advantage of arm's strengths in efficiency."
This multi-year deal comes as Meta accelerates its global data center network. The Prometheus project in Ohio is expected to operate in 2027 with multi-ggawatt capacity, while the Hyperion project in Louisiana will provide up to 5ggawatt of computing capacity when completed in 2030.
Unlike many recent AI deals, Meta and Arm do not exchange stocks or physical infrastructure assets, focusing entirely on technology cooperation. Meanwhile, Nvidia and AMD are investing tens of billions of dollars in AI companies such as OpenAI, xAI and Mistral to expand the computing ecosystem.
Experts say the agreement between Meta and Arm marks a strategic step in the global AI performance optimization race, helping Meta cut energy costs while Arm strengthens its position in the field of high-performance computing infrastructure. This is considered a necessary combination to maintain the growth rate of AI in the current fiercely competitive period.
