Today, Facebook owner Meta is reportedly testing its first in-house chip for training artificial intelligence systems.
The move will be a milestone for the company as it works toward increasing domestic production and design of its custom silicon, to relieve pressure from Nvidia and other external suppliers.
Earlier this month, Meta’s Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said “We’re working on how we would do training for recommender systems and then eventually how we think about training and inference for gen AI.”
In January, Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg declared, “This is going to be the year when a highly intelligent and personalized AI assistant reaches more than 1 billion people, and I expect Meta AI to be that leading AI assistant.”
Meta expects its 2025 annual expenses to total $114 billion to $119 billion, including as much as $65 billion on AI infrastructure.
