Nvidia is buying into its customer Meta, which plans to run more of its AI agents on Nvidia hardware. Nvidia is investing $3 billion in Meta's planned equity offering, the Wall Street Journal reports. In the same announcement, the two companies said they would expand their partnership around Meta's AI product Muse. Meta plans to use more Nvidia infrastructure for its next generation of AI agents, including Vera Rubin systems and Vera CPUs.
Meta wants to raise up to $95 billion through stock offerings to pay for its AI infrastructure buildout. According to CNBC, AMD and Broadcom also signaled nonbinding interest in buying up to $5 billion in Meta shares combined.
The deal fits a pattern investors have been arguing about for months. Nvidia gives money to customers like OpenAI, which then use it to build data centers packed with Nvidia chips. Critics call this circular financing and warn that it could hide how much real demand exists.
