According to the announcements from both companies, NVIDIA and Meta have signed a long-term, multi-year, multi-generational partnership agreement that will enable Meta to deploy Blackwell and Rubin generation GPUs at scale.

Meta plans to deploy systems based on NVIDIA's GB300 and develop an integrated architecture that can leverage the computing power of its own data centers as well as NVIDIA's cloud partners to maximize processing performance and scalability. The company also plans to work with NVIDIA to deploy the Vera Rubin generation of GPUs, which will be released in 2027.

In addition, Meta will integrate NVIDIA's Spectrum-X Ethernet networking system into the Facebook Open Switching System (FBOSS) , and will also use NVIDIA's Confidential Computing technology for WhatsApp data processing, which prioritizes privacy.

Meta is making large-scale investments to expand its AI data centers, and has announced that it will invest more than 900 billion yen in glass products giant Corning in 2026 to accelerate the development of fiber optic systems.
