Meta Expands CoreWeave AI Cloud Deal to $21 Billion Through 2032

The agreement highlights Meta’s need for near-term AI capacity from outside providers.

Overview

  • A contract expansion disclosed Thursday puts about $21 billion toward dedicated AI cloud capacity that runs through December 2032.
  • CoreWeave will deliver GPU-heavy capacity across multiple locations with some of the first deployments of Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform to run inference at scale.
  • The new pact builds on a prior ~$14.2 billion agreement, taking Meta’s total commitment to roughly $35 billion and boosting CoreWeave’s multi‑year revenue visibility, including a reported $66.8 billion backlog.
  • To fund the buildout, CoreWeave launched more than $4 billion in debt offerings, including $3 billion in convertible notes due 2032 and $1.25 billion in senior notes due 2031 for data centers, GPUs, and possible refinancing.
  • Meta characterized the move as a portfolio approach that uses specialized providers for immediate compute needs while its own data centers are built out over several years.
