AMD said on October 27 it will invest $1 billion in Meta's equity offering. Initial AMD Helios rack-scale systems are being tested at Meta ahead of broader deployment, EPYC CPUs power the computing behind Meta's Muse agent, and AMD offers Day-0 support for Muse Spark Open and Muse Glimmer. Nvidia announced a $3 billion investment earlier.

Why it matters

Like Nvidia, AMD takes an equity stake to deepen Meta AI infrastructure ties; Meta's Helios tests, its early-customer role for MI450 architecture and a custom Instinct GPU it will deploy show it adding AMD compute beside Nvidia (per AMD).
