Meta taps Amazon CPUs for AI, while open-source coding models challenge rivals

Meta has agreed to purchase millions of Amazon's custom ARM-based Graviton CPUs to support its AI initiatives, a move that redirects significant spending back to AWS. While GPUs are still dominant for model training, the increasing use of AI agents for tasks like real-time reasoning and code generation is driving demand for specialized CPUs. This deal positions Amazon's homegrown chips as a competitive alternative to offerings from Nvidia and Intel, particularly for agentic workloads. AI
