Meta Commits Up to $27 Billion for Nebius AI Compute in Five-Year Deal

The agreement underscores hyperscalers’ push to lock long-term AI capacity with specialized neocloud providers.

Overview

  • Under the contract, Nebius will deliver $12 billion in dedicated AI capacity starting in early 2027 using one of the first large-scale deployments of Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform.
  • Meta can purchase up to an additional $15 billion of compute from upcoming Nebius clusters, with Nebius prioritizing sales of that capacity to third-party customers.
  • Nvidia last week disclosed a $2 billion investment in Nebius tied to a strategic partnership that grants early access to Rubin-generation hardware.
  • Nebius shares rose roughly 12%–15% on the news, and the company said its 2026 guidance remains unchanged.
  • The deal expands Nebius’s large hyperscaler backlog, following an initial $3 billion Meta agreement and a multi-year AI infrastructure contract with Microsoft reported around $17–$19.4 billion.
