The deal, announced<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday (Feb. 24), will see AMD supply up to 6GW of its Instinct GPUs to help Meta support its artificial intelligence (AI) models.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Meta, we\u2019re working to build the next generation of AI and enable personal superintelligence for all,\u201d the tech giant said in the announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo do this, we need massive, scalable compute power that can handle the growing demands of our AI workloads. Our partnership with AMD, which builds on our existing collaboration, will help us meet those needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meta says this agreement is part of its Meta Compute initiative, an effort to \u201cmassively scale\u201d its infrastructure<\/a> for the \u201cpersonal superintelligence\u201d era, combining hardware from a variety of partners with its Meta Training and\u00a0Inference Accelerator (MTIA) silicon program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to expand our strategic partnership with Meta as they push the boundaries of AI at unprecedented scale,\u201d said\u00a0Lisa Su<\/a>, AMD\u2019s chair and chief executive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis multi-year, multi-generation collaboration across Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs and rack-scale AI systems aligns our roadmaps to deliver high-performance, energy-efficient infrastructure optimized for Meta\u2019s workloads, accelerating one of the industry\u2019s largest AI deployments and placing AMD at the center of the global AI buildout.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deal includes a performance-based warrant for Meta to acquire 160 million AMD shares.<\/p>\n

The agreement comes days after Meta formed a multiyear AI infrastructure pact with\u00a0Nvidia<\/a>. As covered here last week, that partnership is designed to support Meta\u2019s\u00a0development of data centers<\/a>\u00a0designed for AI training and inference, along with its core business.<\/p>\n

In other Meta AI news, the company is testing how far the technology can go as a consumer media format, testing a standalone mobile app for\u00a0Vibes<\/a>, its AI-generated short-video feed that had lived inside the Meta AI app.<\/p>\n

Vibes lets users create short videos using text prompts and browse a feed of AI-created clips that are similar to TikTok or Instagram Reels.<\/p>\n

Spinning the product out into its own app indicates Meta is looking into whether AI-generated content can sustain a dedicated social experience, instead of serving as a novelty feature inside a larger assistant or messaging product, PYMNTS wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe move aligns with Meta\u2019s\u00a0broader strategy<\/a>\u00a0of positioning AI as a core driver of engagement and creation across its platforms,\u201d the report added. \u201cExecutives have increasingly pointed to generative AI as a way to expand the supply of content while lowering the barrier to creation, particularly as competition intensifies for user attention.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The deal, announced\u00a0Tuesday (Feb. 24), will see AMD supply up to 6GW of its Instinct GPUs to help…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,7606,363,364,898,111,43,139,69,739,145,741],"class_list":["post-300219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-amd","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-meta","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-pymnts-news","tag-technology","tag-whats-hot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
