Meta and NVIDIA are entering a multi-year strategic partnership to supply technology for Meta’s AI-optimized data centers.
Meta, in an announcement, said the large-scale deployment builds on an existing relationship and will support the company’s build-out of data centers optimized for AI training and inference, as well as its core business.
The Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp parent said the rollout will deliver substantial improvements in performance per watt, supporting more efficient AI operations at scale.
Meta highlighted it is adopting NVIDIA Confidential Computing for WhatsApp private messaging, and the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform across its infrastructure footprint to provide AI-scale networking, predictable low-latency performance, and improved utilization and power efficiency.
“No one deploys AI at Meta’s scale - integrating frontier research with industrial-scale infrastructure to power the world’s largest personalization and recommendation systems for billions of users,” said Jensen Huang, NVIDIA founder and CEO.
