Meta Plans Custom AI Silicon (MTIA 450 and 500) to Reduce Nvidia Dependence by Late 2027
Meta is advancing custom MTIA silicon, planning to deploy MTIA 450 (Arke) in H1 2027 and MTIA 500 (Astrid) by end-2027. These target efficient inference workloads with better performance-per-watt and cost than Nvidia systems. Meta partnered with Broadcom and TSMC.
TLDR
Meta plans to deploy MTIA 450 in early 2027 and MTIA 500 during that year, aiming to lower the cost of running AI. Its expanded Broadcom partnership starts with a commitment exceeding 1 gigawatt. The chips are part of a mixed hardware strategy, and Meta says changing AI workloads can complicate designs years in development.
