Meta announced a $21 billion expansion of its AI cloud partnership with CoreWeave, extending the commitment through December 2032. The new agreement builds on a prior $14.2 billion deal announced in September 2025, bringing the total value of the relationship to roughly $35 billion.
The expanded capacity is focused on inference workloads, not training, and will provide Meta with dedicated GPU‑based compute powered by NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. Vera Rubin delivers up to 10 times the inference throughput per watt compared with NVIDIA’s previous Blackwell architecture, positioning Meta to run its Muse Spark model and future AI applications at higher efficiency.
By locking in multi‑year compute, Meta reduces its dependence on public cloud providers and accelerates the rollout of AI‑driven advertising and consumer products. The partnership also supplements Meta’s own internal AI infrastructure buildout, allowing the company to scale models more rapidly while maintaining competitive edge in ad targeting and content recommendation.
The deal is a key element of Meta’s 2026 capital‑expenditure plan, which ranges from $115 billion to $135 billion. The $21 billion commitment represents a significant portion of that plan and underscores Meta’s strategy to front‑load AI infrastructure to support long‑term growth.
CoreWeave, which has recently secured $4.25 billion in new debt financing, views the expansion as a major revenue driver that will support its growth trajectory. The partnership also highlights the growing demand for specialized AI cloud services among large enterprises.
Management comments: Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that the company is experiencing a major AI acceleration and expects 2026 to be a year of further growth in AI capabilities. CoreWeave’s CEO Michael Intrator said the deal exemplifies how leading companies are choosing CoreWeave’s AI cloud to run their most demanding workloads.
