Amazon Web Services and Meta have announced an agreement under which Meta will use several tens of millions of Graviton5 cores from AWS. The deal will make Meta one of the largest Graviton customers, and the agreement provides for an expansion with additional Graviton cores as Meta's needs grow.
Cloud CPU for Agentic AI
Meta intends to primarily use the additional computing power for the field of Agentic AI. GPUs are better suited for training AI models than CPUs. However, in the field of Agentic AI, autonomous agents must plan and execute complex tasks, for which CPUs are better suited.

Amazon describes the Graviton CPU as a cloud processor specifically designed for energy-efficient cloud applications. Like Google's Axion chips and Microsoft's Cobalt chips, Graviton is based on an ARM architecture. In March 2026, ARM introduced its own processor for the first time: The AGI CPU, whose name is inspired by Artificial General Intelligence, was developed by ARM together with Meta and TSMC.

The Graviton5 chips have 192 cores and a significantly larger L3 cache than the previous model. Further details can be found in the official announcements from Meta and from Amazon.
