Meta and Broadcom to Co-Develop Custom AI Silicon

Meta has expanded its collaboration with Broadcom Inc. to co-develop multiple generations of custom AI silicon, announced in a press release. The partnership focuses on advancing Meta’s Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) chips, which power AI across its platforms.

Under the agreement, Broadcom will work with Meta on chip design, advanced packaging, and networking, leveraging its XPU platform to optimize Meta’s AI infrastructure. The collaboration includes an initial commitment exceeding one gigawatt of compute capacity, marking the first phase of a planned multi-gigawatt rollout.

The MTIA chips are designed for large-scale inference and recommendation workloads, as well as emerging generative AI applications. Broadcom’s Ethernet technology will also support high-bandwidth networking across Meta’s growing AI compute clusters.

As part of the expanded partnership, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan will step down from Meta’s board of directors and transition to an advisory role, providing input on Meta’s custom silicon roadmap and infrastructure strategy.
