Meta will begin manufacturing its custom 'Iris' AI chip in September as part of a plan to double computing capacity to 14 gigawatts by 2027, reducing dependence on Nvidia and AMD while lowering infrastructure costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure and Semiconductors.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Meta is making its own AI chips to cut what it pays for compute and lean less on Nvidia and AMD. If cheap inference is your edge, the biggest buyer in the market just found a way to undercut you.
