NVIDIA today announced a multiyear, multigenerational strategic partnership with Meta spanning on-premises, cloud and AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Meta will build hyperscale data centers optimized for both training and inference in support of the company\u2019s long-term AI infrastructure roadmap. This partnership will enable the large-scale deployment of NVIDIA CPUs and millions of NVIDIA Blackwell and Rubin GPUs, as well as the integration of NVIDIA Spectrum-X\u2122 Ethernet<\/a> switches for Meta\u2019s Facebook Open Switching System platform.<\/p>\n \u201cNo one deploys AI at Meta\u2019s scale \u2014 integrating frontier research with industrial-scale infrastructure to power the world\u2019s largest personalization and recommendation systems for billions of users,\u201d said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. \u201cThrough deep codesign across CPUs, GPUs, networking and software, we are bringing the full NVIDIA platform to Meta\u2019s researchers and engineers as they build the foundation for the next AI frontier.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to expand our partnership with NVIDIA to build leading-edge clusters using their Vera Rubin platform to deliver personal superintelligence to everyone in the world,\u201d said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta.<\/p>\n Expanded NVIDIA CPU Deployment for Performance Boost The collaboration represents the first large-scale NVIDIA Grace-only deployment, supported by codesign and software optimization investments in CPU ecosystem libraries to improve performance per watt with every generation.<\/p>\n The companies are also collaborating on deploying NVIDIA Vera CPUs, with the potential for large-scale deployment in 2027, further extending Meta\u2019s energy-efficient AI compute footprint and advancing the broader Arm software ecosystem.<\/p>\n Unified Architecture Supports Meta\u2019s AI Infrastructure In addition, Meta has adopted the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform across its infrastructure footprint to provide AI-scale networking, delivering predictable, low-latency performance while maximizing utilization and improving both operational and power efficiency.<\/p>\n
\nMeta and NVIDIA are continuing to partner on deploying Arm-based NVIDIA Grace\u2122 CPUs for Meta\u2019s data center production applications, delivering significant performance-per-watt improvements in its data centers as part of Meta\u2019s long-term infrastructure strategy.<\/p>\n
\nMeta will deploy industry-leading NVIDIA GB300-based systems and create a unified architecture that spans on-premises data centers and NVIDIA Cloud Partner<\/a> deployments to simplify operations while maximizing performance and scalability.<\/p>\n
