Nvidia has just locked in a huge AI partnership with Meta. The chip giant has signed a multiyear agreement to supply Meta with millions of artificial intelligence chips, covering both its current and next generation products. While the companies have not revealed the total value of the deal, the scale alone makes it clear that this is a serious commitment. At a time when tech firms are racing to build bigger and smarter AI systems, this agreement strengthens Nvidia’s position at the centre of that race and deepens its already strong ties with Meta.
In a press release, Nvidia announced that the deal includes its current Blackwell AI chips and the upcoming Rubin platform, which is still in development. These chips are designed to power large scale AI models, advanced data processing and emerging tools such as AI agents. For Meta, this means more computing muscle to support everything from content recommendations to generative AI features across its apps.
What makes this agreement more interesting is that it goes beyond graphics processors. Nvidia will also supply its Grace and Vera central processing units. These CPUs are built using Arm based technology and are positioned as energy efficient options for heavy backend workloads such as running databases.
According to Nvidia executives, Grace has already shown it can cut power usage significantly for certain data tasks. The next generation Vera chip is expected to push those gains even further. Meta has reportedly tested Vera with some of its own workloads, and early results appear promising. This signals Nvidia’s growing ambition to compete not just in AI accelerators but also in the broader data centre CPU market.
As per Nvidia’s press release, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the expanded partnership supports the company’s broader goal of bringing what he calls “personal superintelligence to everyone in the world,” a vision he first outlined in July.
Meanwhile, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said that few companies operate AI systems at the scale Meta does, combining advanced research with massive infrastructure to run personalisation and recommendation engines for billions of users. He added that Nvidia is working closely with Meta across CPUs, GPUs, networking and software, bringing its full platform to support the company’s next phase of AI development.
