Arm is manufacturing its first custom CPU, the Arm AGI CPU, designed for AI inference.
Meta is the first customer and co-developer of this new chip.
The collaboration aims to help Meta overcome challenges in launching its own AI chips.
Meta plans to integrate the Arm chip with hardware from Nvidia and AMD.
This move marks a significant shift for Arm from licensing designs to producing its own silicon.
📖 Full Retelling
After decades of only licensing its chip designs for others to use, UK-based Arm revealed the first chip it's producing on its own, and the first customer. Dubbed the Arm AGI CPU, it's another chip designed for inference, or running the cloud processing for AI tools like AI agents that can continue to spawn more and more tasks to run at once. The first company in line to use it is Meta, which has reportedly struggled to launch its own AI chips.
Meta says it's both the lead partner and co-developer , and plans to work on "multiple generations" of the datacenter CPUs, for use along with hardware from other vendors like Nvidia and AMD . Arm cust …
