Meta to deploy AWS Graviton processors at scale

Meta has expanded its long-standing partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) by signing an agreement to deploy tens of millions of AWS Graviton processors at scale.

The deal positions Meta as one of the largest customers of AWS Graviton technology globally, providing the necessary infrastructure to support the company’s evolving AI ambitions.

It specifically addresses the growing demand for CPU-intensive workloads required by agentic AI, systems capable of autonomous reasoning, planning and executing complex, multi-step tasks.

“This isn’t just about chips; it’s about giving customers the infrastructure foundation, as well as data and inference services, to build AI that understands, anticipates and scales efficiently to billions of people worldwide,” said Nafea Bshara, Vice President and Distinguished Engineer of Amazon.

By leveraging AWS’ purpose-built Graviton silicon, Meta aims to diversify its compute sources and bolster its cloud infrastructure. “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,” said Santosh Janardhan, Head of Infrastructure at Meta.
