Report: Meta to lease excess capacity from AI data centres

According to a report by financial news agency Bloomberg, Meta plans to enter the cloud infrastructure market by renting out excess capacity from its AI data centers. The initiative, called 'Meta Compute,' would allow companies to access both raw computing power and various AI models running within Meta's data centers. This move could challenge existing players like Amazon Bedrock and new cloud providers such as CoreWeave and Nebius, whose stock prices fell after the report was published. Meta has not officially commented on the report, which cites anonymous insiders. CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned in May that external companies have been asking Meta to provide API services or sell computing power at a premium, but the company had not acted on these requests yet. Meanwhile, SpaceX, through its subsidiary xAI, already rents out computing capacity from its Colossus cluster to companies like Google and Anthropic, indicating that there is significant unused capacity in the AI sector.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about Meta's potential expansion into cloud infrastructure and does not exhibit clear ideological bias. It reports on corporate strategy and market competition without taking a stance on political issues.
