Meta Signs Deal for Millions of Amazon's AI Chips

Meta has signed a deal to use millions of AWS Graviton CPUs for its AI workloads, Amazon announced Friday. The timing, right as Google Cloud Next wrapped up, was a pointed move by AWS, given Meta signed a $10 billion deal with Google Cloud last year. The Graviton chips are ARM-based CPUs designed for AI agentic workloads like real-time reasoning and code writing. The deal lets Amazon showcase Meta as a major customer for its homegrown chips, which compete directly with Nvidia's new Vera CPU targeting similar AI use cases.
