CoreWeave has secured a substantial partnership expansion with Meta Platforms, carrying an estimated value of $21 billion. The arrangement provides AI cloud infrastructure through December 2032 and strengthens the strategic alliance between both technology firms.
The partnership isn’t starting from scratch. The companies had previously established a working relationship — valued at up to $14.2 billion extending through 2031 — making this announcement a significant expansion of their existing collaboration.
In terms of total value, the updated contract represents nearly a 50% increase over the earlier agreement.
Scope of the Partnership
The arrangement calls for CoreWeave to supply dedicated AI cloud infrastructure to Meta spanning multiple geographic regions. This distributed architecture aims to enhance reliability, performance, and the ability to scale Meta’s artificial intelligence operations.
A noteworthy aspect of the partnership involves early adoption of NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform — representing NVIDIA’s latest AI chip technology. This positions the agreement as significant both from a cloud services perspective and a cutting-edge hardware deployment standpoint.
Meta continues aggressive investment in AI capabilities. The social media giant has earmarked capital expenditures between $60 billion and $65 billion for 2025, with AI infrastructure representing a central component of this spending plan.
CoreWeave, having completed its public offering in March 2025, has rapidly established relationships with leading technology companies. The Meta partnership represents the company’s most significant publicly disclosed agreement.
