Meta has struck a multi‑year deal to power its AI infrastructure with hundreds of thousands of Amazon Web Services Graviton ARM‑based processors, marking the social‑media giant’s latest move in a $48 billion push that also includes GPU rentals from CoreWeave and Nebius. The Graviton chips, praised for delivering strong performance per dollar while using roughly 60 % less energy, will handle CPU‑intensive, post‑training AI tasks as Meta expands its data‑center footprint (now 32 facilities, including a new site in Oklahoma) despite a simultaneous layoff of about 8,000 employees. This partnership makes Meta one of AWS’s top five Graviton customers and underscores the growing role of general‑purpose CPUs alongside GPUs in today’s AI era.
