Meta Platforms has signed a multi-year agreement with Amazon Web Services to use tens of millions of AWS Graviton CPU cores to support its artificial intelligence infrastructure, the companies announced in April 2026.
The deal involves Meta deploying AWS Graviton CPU cores at scale to handle CPU-intensive agentic AI workloads. Agentic AI refers to systems capable of carrying out tasks autonomously, a category that tends to place significant demand on processing infrastructure.
According to the source material, the agreement is intended to bolster Meta’s capacity for these workloads, with the goal of improving performance and efficiency as the company scales its AI operations.
The partnership brings together two of the largest players in the technology sector: Meta Platforms, the social media and technology company, and Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing division of Amazon. No individual executives were named in connection with the announcement.
This deal may signal a shift in how large technology companies structure their AI compute strategies, potentially leaning on external cloud providers for specific processing needs rather than relying solely on proprietary infrastructure. For businesses and developers building on Meta’s platforms, the expanded CPU capacity could support more responsive and capable AI-driven features over time.
