Nvidia signed a multiyear deal to supply Meta with millions of AI chips — Blackwell now, Rubin next — plus Grace and Vera CPUs.

TL;DR
Meta is going full “buy the compute, don’t wait,” and Nvidia is basically saying its future roadmap is already booked. The only thing missing is the price tag.

Key Details

• Nvidia announced a multiyear agreement to supply Meta with millions of current and future AI chips.
• The deal includes Blackwell and future Rubin chips, per Reuters.
• Reuters also notes the agreement covers Nvidia’s Grace and Vera CPUs.
• The financial value of the agreement was not disclosed.
• Unit totals and delivery schedules weren’t publicly detailed.

Breakdown
This is the AI arms race in one sentence: Meta wants more compute than it can build slowly, and Nvidia wants the world to know its next-gen line isn’t a “maybe” — it’s already spoken for.

The inclusion of future Rubin chips is the flex. It signals this isn’t just a “buy what’s available today” deal; it’s a forward reservation on the roadmap. That kind of commitment can shape how fast Meta can expand capacity for training, inference, and whatever “agents everywhere” plan comes next.

But the quiet part is still the most important: we don’t know the money. Without pricing and delivery timing, we can’t fully judge how aggressive the commitment is — only that the scale is huge and the relationship is deep.

What to Watch Next

• Any details that surface on delivery cadence and unit volumes.
• How Meta balances this with in-house silicon work and alternative accelerators.
• Whether other hyperscalers respond with similar “future roadmap” supply announcements.

Comment
Do you think Meta’s endgame is “buy forever from Nvidia,” or “buy now while we race to make our own chips”?
