Meta to Deploy Tens of Millions of AWS Graviton5 Chips in Multi-Year Billion-Dollar Deal

Gate News message, April 24 — Meta has signed a multi-year agreement with Amazon Web Services to deploy tens of millions of Graviton5 processors for its AI infrastructure, making Meta one of AWS’s largest Graviton customers globally. The deal, spanning three to five years, is valued at billions of dollars, according to AWS Vice President Nafea Bshara.

Graviston5 processors are purpose-built for agentic AI workloads—applications capable of reasoning, generating code, and orchestrating multi-step tasks independently. Each chip contains 192 cores that can be assigned to different tasks simultaneously, enabling parallel processing for complex AI workflows. Meta’s Head of Infrastructure Santosh Janardhan stated, “As we scale the infrastructure behind Meta’s AI ambitions, diversifying our compute sources is a strategic imperative. AWS has been a trusted cloud partner for years, and expanding to Graviton allows us to run the CPU-intensive workloads behind agentic AI with the performance and efficiency we need at our scale.”

The partnership reflects a broader industry shift beyond graphics processors, which have dominated AI model training, toward CPUs optimized for running trained models in production. The deal comes one day after Meta confirmed plans to cut 8,000 jobs while leaving 6,000 open positions unfilled, as the company positions AI as its core strategic focus.
