In a major step toward AI-optimized infrastructure, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) announced a partnership with Arm Holdings to power its core AI systems — including the personalization engines behind Facebook and Instagram.
💻 Why it matters:
Meta will use Arm-based data-center platforms to enhance the performance and energy efficiency of its AI ranking and recommendation systems — the backbone of content discovery across its apps. The move signals a growing shift from traditional x86 architectures (Intel & AMD) toward Arm-based chips in high-performance computing.
🏗️ Meta is also investing $1.5 billion to build a new Texas data center, its 29th globally, aimed at expanding infrastructure for AI workloads.
🤝 Both firms have co-developed AI infrastructure software optimized for Arm architectures — released open source to encourage broader adoption and innovation across the AI ecosystem.
📊 This collaboration reinforces Arm’s position as a key player in the next wave of AI-driven data-center evolution, while Meta strengthens its in-house capacity to scale personalization and recommendation models globally.
