This move would position Meta as a direct competitor to major cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. The initiative, led by key infrastructure and AI leaders within Meta, could significantly impact the market for specialized AI cloud providers such as CoreWeave and Nebius, whose stocks saw a notable decline following the news.
