Meta signs deal to use millions of Amazon’s Graviton chips for AI workloads
The agreement highlights a growing shift toward CPUs and custom silicon for running AI agents after models are trained.
Meta has signed a deal to use millions of AWS Graviton chips, Amazon said, marking a major win for AWS’s homegrown silicon strategy. Graviton is an ARM-based CPU rather than a GPU, and the pitch is that it can handle the compute needed to run AI agents—multi-step systems that rely on real-time reasoning, code generation, search, and orchestration—once large models have been trained.
The announcement is also a competitive signal in the broader push to reduce dependence on Nvidia’s stack by expanding the role of CPUs and custom chips in production AI.
