Meta custom AI chip could reduce dependence on Nvidia chips, Reuters reports

Meta Platforms (META) plans a new version of a custom chip aimed at supporting its artificial intelligence push and deploy it into its data centers this year, according to an internal company document seen by Reuters. The chip, a second generation of an in-house silicon line Meta announced last year, could help to reduce Meta’s dependence on the Nvidia (NVDA) chips that dominate the AI market and control the spiraling costs associated with running AI workloads, said Reuters’ Katie Paul, Stephen Nellis and Max Cherney.
