NVIDIA and Meta are deepening their partnership with a multiyear, multigenerational strategic partnership that will see Meta build hyperscale data centers optimized for both training and inference in support of the company’s 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™ Ethernet switches for Meta’s Facebook Open Switching System platform.
Meta and NVIDIA are continuing to partner on deploying Arm-based NVIDIA Grace™ CPUs for Meta’s data center production applications, delivering significant performance-per-watt improvements in its data centers as part of Meta’s long-term infrastructure strategy.
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.
The companies are also collaborating on deploying NVIDIA Vera CPUs, with the potential for large-scale deployment in 2027, further extending Meta’s energy-efficient AI compute footprint and advancing the broader Arm software ecosystem.
Meta will deploy industry-leading NVIDIA GB300-based systems and create a unified architecture that spans on-premises data centers and NVIDIA Cloud Partner deployments to simplify operations while maximizing performance and scalability.
In addition, Meta has adopted the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform across its infrastructure footprint to enable AI-scale networking and NVIDIA Confidential Computing for WhatsApp private processing, enabling AI-powered capabilities across the messaging platform while ensuring user data confidentiality and integrity.
Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said: “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. Through deep codesign across CPUs, GPUs, networking and software, we are bringing the full NVIDIA platform to Meta’s researchers and engineers as they build the foundation for the next AI frontier.”
Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Meta, said: “We’re 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.”
