Meta Platforms Secures Up to $27 Billion AI Computing Deal with Dutch Nebius Group
Meta Platforms has signed major agreements with Nebius Group to acquire advanced AI computing capabilities worth up to $27 billion over the next five years, reflecting the intensifying global competition in artificial intelligence.
Under the agreement, Meta will receive $12 billion in AI computing capacity through 2027, with an option to purchase an additional $15 billion in capacity over the following years if not sold to other clients, potentially raising the total deal value to the massive $27 billion figure.
The move is part of Meta’s strategy to strengthen its AI infrastructure amid growing demand for high-performance computing to power generative AI models, recommendation systems, and data analytics. The company is increasingly developing in-house solutions to enhance performance and reduce reliance on external providers.
In addition, Meta plans to launch four new generations of its MTIA chips over the next two years, supporting ranking and recommendation systems as well as generative AI applications.

Nebius Group’s data centers leverage advanced technologies, including Nvidia chips, enhancing performance efficiency to meet growing high-performance computing demand.
Nvidia also announced plans to invest $2 billion for an 8.3% stake in Nebius, signaling confidence in the expanding AI infrastructure market and its role in supporting companies in the sector.
These developments highlight a broader trend among major tech companies to build self-reliant computing and chip capabilities in a global race to dominate AI technologies, which are becoming a central pillar of the digital economy.
Through these investments, Meta aims to cement its position as a leading player in AI by developing robust infrastructure capable of supporting its wide range of services—from social networks to virtual and mixed reality technologies.
