Meta plans to put its own artificial intelligence chip into production in September and is aiming to roughly double the computing capacity across its data centres, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The chip belongs to Meta’s in-house silicon line, the Meta Training and Inference Accelerator, or MTIA, which the company has been scaling up as part of a record spending push and a wider effort to reduce its reliance on Nvidia.
Meta declined to comment on the specifics, and both the September timing and the capacity target come from anonymous sources rather than any public disclosure.
If the timeline holds, it would mark another step in a programme that has moved unusually fast this year. Meta unveiled four new MTIA chips in March, the 300, 400, 450, and 500, and said it would ship them on a roughly six-month cadence rather than the annual pace common across the industry.
Those chips are manufactured by TSMC and co-developed with Broadcom, whose partnership with Meta now runs through 2029 and covers several generations of custom silicon. Broadcom has said the newer MTIA parts will be among the first custom AI chips built on a 2-nanometre process.
