Alphabet’s Google Cloud has secured a cloud-computing contract with Meta Platforms valued at more than $10 billion over six years, according to reports from The Information that were later confirmed by Reuters and CNBC. The transaction is among the largest known deals in Google Cloud’s history. Under the agreement, Meta will use Google Cloud’s servers, storage, networking and a substantial pool of Nvidia graphics-processing units to power its artificial-intelligence workloads. The partnership shows how two rivals in digital advertising can cooperate on infrastructure as demand for generative-AI capacity accelerates. The win bolsters Google Cloud’s push to narrow the gap with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The division posted $13.6 billion in revenue and $2.83 billion in operating income in the second quarter, representing 32% year-over-year growth. For Meta, the spending aligns with its projection to raise 2025 expenses to between $114 billion and $118 billion as it scales its Llama family of large language models and embeds AI features across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The deal also underscores Nvidia’s dominance in high-performance chips used to train and run advanced AI systems.
