Meta rolls out in-house AI chips weeks after massive Nvidia, AMD deals

March 11, 2026

TL;DR

Meta has revealed four custom AI chips (MTIA family) designed for artificial intelligence tasks.
These chips are intended to improve price-performance and diversify Meta's silicon supply chain.
MTIA 300 is deployed for smaller AI models used in content ranking and recommendations.
Upcoming MTIA 400, 450, and 500 are designed for generative AI inference tasks like image and video creation, not for training large models.
MTIA 400 has completed testing and is expected for deployment soon, with other chips operational in 2027.
Meta's rapid chip development cadence is driven by fast-paced capacity building and CapEx spending.
The company is also expanding its data centers, with locations in Louisiana, Ohio, and Indiana, and potentially Texas.
Meta's approach contrasts with Google and Amazon, whose custom chips are part of cloud platforms, while Meta's are for internal use.
Meta acknowledges concerns about High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) supply but believes its supply is secured.
The company has recently made significant deals for Nvidia and AMD GPUs.
Meta's custom chips are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor, with engineers primarily based in the U.S.
