The partnership is focused on expanding computing capacity to support Meta\u2019s growing artificial intelligence workloads, including model training, deployment, and data-intensive applications across its platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the agreement, Nebius will provide computing capacity worth $12 billion to Meta over a five-year period. The infrastructure is expected to begin operations in early 2027 and will be deployed across multiple locations to support large-scale AI workloads and complex data processing requirements. In addition to the initial capacity, Meta may purchase further compute resources, which could take the total value of the deal to approximately $27 billion over the contract period. Nebius also indicated that any remaining capacity may be offered to other customers within its AI cloud business, depending on demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--palette-color-9)\">\n<p><em><strong>Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of\u00a0Nebius<\/strong>, said:<br>We\u00a0are pleased to\u00a0expand our significant partnership with Meta as\u00a0part of\u00a0securing more large, long-term capacity contracts to\u00a0accelerate the build-out and growth of\u00a0our core AI\u00a0cloud business.

Companies are increasingly investing in large-scale computing systems to support the training and deployment of advanced AI models, particularly in areas such as generative AI and enterprise automation. Such long-term agreements also reflect a broader shift, where firms are securing infrastructure capacity in advance to avoid future supply constraints and ensure consistent scaling of their AI operations. As competition in AI continues to intensify, access to reliable and scalable computing resources is becoming a key strategic differentiator for technology companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-palette-color-9-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-9ef7140f287e38936988858610ddb4d9\"><em>This article is based on information published in Nebius\u2019s official <a href=\"https:\/\/nebius.com\/newsroom\/nebius-signs-new-ai-infrastructure-agreement-with-meta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">release<\/a>.
