Meta Inks $27B Deal With Nebius for AI Infrastructure

Meta just made one of the biggest AI infrastructure bets we've seen. The company is set to pay up to $27 billion over five years to Nebius, an Amsterdam-based AI infrastructure provider, for access to cutting-edge compute resources.

The deal kicks off with $12 billion worth of capacity coming online in early 2027. That's a staggering opening commitment before the full spend even ramps up.

The arrangement underscores just how aggressively Meta is investing in AI capabilities beyond its own data centers. Rather than building everything in-house, the company is locking in massive external infrastructure deals to fuel its AI ambitions.

For Nebius, this is a landmark contract that puts the company squarely on the map as a major player in the AI infrastructure game. $27 billion buys a lot of credibility.
