Summary: Oracle is in talks with Meta on a multi‑year cloud deal worth about $20 billion, Reuters reports, citing a person familiar. OCI capacity would support AI model training and deployment alongside Meta’s other cloud providers.
Why it matters
It’s another sign that AI leaders are locking in compute across multiple clouds to hedge scarcity. For Oracle, megadeals establish OCI as a top‑tier AI infrastructure player and validate its cross‑cloud interconnect strategy.
Key facts
- Size/timing: talks for a multi‑year ~$20bn agreement.
- Scope: compute for training + inference; complements existing providers.
- Backdrop: Oracle trumpeted several multi‑billion‑dollar AI contracts last week.
What to watch
Whether Meta confirms; contract term/commit structure; GPU supply sources; any regulatory review tied to big‑tech cloud concentration.
