Meta has signed a six-year agreement to spend more than $10 billion on Google Cloud services. The deal gives Meta the computing power it needs to scale its Llama AI models and integrate generative AI across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

For Google Cloud, it is a major win in the race to catch up with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Earlier this year, Google also added OpenAI as a client, signaling progress in challenging Microsoft’s dominance in the AI cloud space.

Meta has been pouring billions into AI. In its July earnings report, the company projected 2025 expenses as high as $118 billion, with much of that devoted to AI infrastructure and talent.

Alphabet, meanwhile, reported $13.6 billion in quarterly Google Cloud revenue, up from $10.35 billion a year earlier. Analysts say large contracts like Meta’s strengthen Google’s push for more enterprise business.

The partnership is notable because Meta and Google have long been fierce rivals in digital advertising. Yet Meta’s AI ambitions demand capacity from multiple providers. The company also partners with Amazon and Microsoft, while running its own data centers.

Zuckerberg has assembled a superintelligence team and continues to invest heavily, despite freezing AI hiring to rein in costs.
