Meta Secures AI Compute Capacity in Southeast Asia via Firmus Deal
META sits 38% above its 52-week low of $520.26.
Summary
Meta has signed AI infrastructure agreements with Australia's Firmus for GPU compute capacity at data centres in Southeast Asia. The deal provides contracted capacity and expansion options on Nvidia's full-stack DSX platform to support Meta's AI research, model development, and training. Financial terms were not disclosed. This builds on Meta's existing deployment of Nvidia GB300 NVL72 systems at Firmus' Melbourne facility, the largest Blackwell Ultra deployment in the Southern Hemisphere. The partnership extends Meta's AI infrastructure footprint in the region and aligns with its strategy to monetize excess compute capacity. Firmus is preparing for a $5 billion IPO, which may benefit from this anchor customer relationship.
