Cryptoprowl / Meta (NASDAQ: $META ) has signed a multi-year agreement with Amazon Web Services to use tens of millions of AWS Graviton cores as it builds out infrastructure for its next generation of AI systems. The deal makes Meta one of the largest Graviton customers globally and is expected to be worth billions of dollars over a three- to five-year period, according to AWS executive Nafea Bshara.

The agreement reflects a more practical shift in how large AI platforms are planning capacity. GPUs still dominate the training side of the market, but agentic AI creates a different set of pressures once products move into daily use. Real-time reasoning, code generation, search, and multi-step task execution can require large amounts of CPU capacity, and Meta’s decision to scale Graviton use through AWS gives that part of the infrastructure stack more attention.

AWS said the deployment begins with tens of millions of Graviton cores and can expand as Meta’s needs grow. The new Graviton5 processors are built for workloads that run many tasks in parallel, with 192 cores per chip and a design focused on reducing delays between cores. Amazon has positioned the chips as purpose-built for the kind of CPU-heavy work that sits underneath agentic AI at scale.

The deal adds another layer to Meta's compute strategy that already spans multiple suppliers and chip architectures. That flexibility matters as the cost of AI infrastructure keeps rising and companies look for ways to support more inference, automation, and always-on AI features without relying on one kind of processor alone. 

For Amazon, the agreement gives AWS a high-profile win for its custom silicon business at a moment when cloud providers are trying to prove they can compete deeper inside the AI stack, not just rent out capacity around it.
