Meta to Roll Out New Custom AI Chips This Year for Efficiency Gains
- Meta plans to deploy new custom AI chips in data centers this year to support its AI push and reduce reliance on Nvidia chips
- The new chip is the second generation of Meta's in-house silicon line announced last year
- Successful deployment could save Meta hundreds of millions in annual energy costs and billions in chip purchases
- The chips will handle AI inference, while Meta continues buying Nvidia GPUs for training
- Meta previously scrapped the first iteration of its custom chip last year, opting to buy more Nvidia GPUs instead
