Meta Partners With AWS to Add Tens of Millions of Graviton Cores for AI
Meta announced Friday it's partnering with Amazon Web Services to add tens of millions of AWS Graviton cores to its computers. The deal will help power Meta's agentic AI workloads, which are AI systems that can act on their own to complete tasks.
Meta announced Friday a major partnership with Amazon Web Services to boost its artificial intelligence capabilities. The social media giant will add tens of millions of AWS Graviton cores to its computing systems.
The new processors will specifically power what's called "agentic AI" - artificial intelligence systems that can work independently to complete tasks and make decisions. Think of it like an AI assistant that can book your travel, manage your calendar, or handle customer service without needing step-by-step instructions.
The deal starts with tens of millions of Graviton cores, but both companies say it could expand even larger. Graviton chips are Amazon's custom-designed processors that are built to handle AI workloads efficiently.
This partnership highlights the intense competition among tech companies to build more advanced AI systems. Meta has been investing heavily in AI across its platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, while also developing AI tools for businesses.
This partnership could make AI assistants on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp smarter and more helpful. It also shows how tech giants are racing to build more powerful AI systems that can handle complex tasks without constant human guidance.
The deployment will begin rolling out, with potential for expansion beyond the initial tens of millions of cores.
