Meta is reportedly exploring the launch of "Meta Compute," a new venture aimed at leasing its substantial AI infrastructure, including GPUs, to external clients. This strategic shift comes as Meta faces challenges with its AI model development, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledging slower-than-expected progress. The company plans to leverage its significant investments in data centers and computing power, which are projected to exceed 10GW in contracted capacity by early 2024. Meta intends to use these resources for internal model training, enhancing its advertising systems, and offering cloud compute services similar to those provided by AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, potentially even hosting third-party models like Anthropic's Claude.
