Meta与亚马逊达成数十亿美元芯片合作协议,凸显AI基础设施需求激增
据《彭博社》报道,Facebook母公司Meta已与亚马逊签署一项价值数十亿美元、为期多年的合作协议,将采用亚马逊自研的Graviton芯片用于“代理型人工智能”(agentic AI)系统的开发。这标志着科技巨头对亚马逊旗下快速增长的芯片业务需求持续升温。
根据协议,Meta将获得亚马逊云服务(AWS)数据中心内数千万颗Graviton5处理器核心的使用权,成为该芯片全球最大客户之一。此举进一步拓展了Meta此前对亚马逊AI模型平台Bedrock的使用范围。
消息发布前一天,Meta刚宣布裁员约10%(约8000人),反映出行业在削减人力成本的同时,正将巨额资金转向AI基础设施建设。
亚马逊CEO安迪·贾西在领英发帖指出,代理型AI“正变得几乎与GPU同等重要的CPU应用场景”。这意味着,尽管图形处理器(GPU,主要来自英伟达)此前主导了AI硬件讨论,但代理型系统需要传统中央处理器(CPU)来执行步骤间的推理与协调任务。
Meta在芯片策略上采取广泛布局:除与英伟达和AMD合作外,近期还同意使用谷歌定制芯片,同时携手博通开发自研芯片。Meta基础设施负责人桑托什·贾纳丹表示:“为支撑Meta的AI愿景,拓展计算来源的多样性是战略重点。”
亚马逊正加速确立其芯片制造商地位。贾西在年度股东信中透露,其自研芯片业务年收入已超200亿美元,并“很可能”在未来直接向第三方销售整机芯片,与英伟达展开更直接的竞争。目前其客户阵容持续扩大:人工智能公司Anthropic承诺将模型运行在亚马逊Trainium处理器上,作为本周公布的250亿美元扩展合作的一部分;OpenAI也于今年早些时候同意在价值1000亿美元的云交易中使用Trainium芯片。

Facebook母公司Meta与亚马逊签署了一项协议,将采用亚马逊的Graviton芯片来支持智能体人工智能,这再次表明市场对这家科技巨头日益壮大的芯片业务需求正在增长。
据彭博社报道,这项协议价值数十亿美元,涵盖数年时间。就在协议公布的前一天,Meta宣布将裁减约10%的员工(约8000人),而当前整个行业都在裁员,同时却将数十亿美元投入人工智能基础设施建设。
两家公司表示,该协议使Meta能够获得运行在亚马逊云服务(AWS)数据中心内的数千万个Graviton5处理器核心,从而成为全球最大的Graviton客户之一。这一合作建立在Meta此前使用亚马逊AI模型平台Amazon Bedrock的基础之上。
亚马逊首席执行官安迪·贾西在领英发文称,智能体人工智能“正变得几乎与GPU(图形处理器)一样重要”。换言之,虽然(主要来自英伟达的)GPU主导了人工智能硬件领域的讨论,但智能体系统需要传统的中央处理器(CPU)来处理步骤之间的推理与协调工作。
Meta采取了广泛合作策略,已与英伟达和AMD签署协议,近期还同意使用谷歌的定制处理器,同时与博通合作自主研发芯片。
Meta基础设施负责人桑托什·贾纳丹在一份声明中表示:“随着我们扩展支撑Meta人工智能愿景的基础设施,实现计算资源的多元化是一项战略要务。”
亚马逊正凭借自身实力成为一家重要芯片制造商。首席执行官安迪·贾西在年度股东信中透露,亚马逊的定制芯片业务年收入已超过200亿美元,并表示未来“极有可能”将自家芯片机架直接出售给第三方,这意味着将与英伟达展开更直接的竞争。
亚马逊的芯片客户名单正在扩大。Anthropic已承诺将其模型运行在亚马逊的Trainium处理器上,这是本周宣布的250亿美元扩展合作的一部分;而OpenAI也在今年早些时候同意在价值1000亿美元的云服务协议中使用Trainium芯片。

Facebook parent Meta signed a deal to use Amazon’s Graviton chips for agentic AI, the latest indication of growing demand for the tech giant’s growing silicon business.
Bloomberg reports that the deal is worth billions of dollars over multiple years. It comes one day after Meta said it would lay off roughly 10% of its workforce, or about 8,000 employees, as companies across the industry cut headcount while pouring billions into AI infrastructure.
The deal gives Meta access to tens of millions of Graviton5 processor cores, running in AWS data centers, making Meta one of the largest Graviton customers in the world, the companies said. It builds on Meta’s existing use of Amazon Bedrock, the company’s platform for AI models.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a LinkedIn post that agentic AI is “becoming almost as big a CPU story as a GPU story.” In other words, while graphical processing units (mostly from Nvidia) have dominated the AI hardware conversation, agentic systems need traditional central processing units to handle the reasoning and coordination that happens between steps.
Meta has taken a broad approach, signing deals with Nvidia and AMD, recently agreeing to use Google’s custom processors, and developing its own in-house silicon with Broadcom.
“As we scale the infrastructure behind Meta’s AI ambitions, diversifying our compute sources is a strategic imperative,” said Santosh Janardhan, head of infrastructure at Meta, in a release.
Amazon is establishing itself as a major chipmaker in its own right. CEO Andy Jassy disclosed in his annual shareholder letter that Amazon’s custom silicon business is generating more than $20 billion a year in revenue, saying it’s “quite possible” Amazon will sell racks of its chips to third parties in the future. That would mean competing more directly with Nividia.
Its roster of chip customers is growing. Anthropic committed to running its models on Amazon’s Trainium processors as part of a $25 billion expanded partnership announced this week, and OpenAI agreed to use Trainium as part of a $100 billion cloud deal earlier this year.
