On July 1, several media outlets reported that Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) was forming a new business unit, internally dubbed "Meta Compute", to sell its excess AI cloud capacity to third-party customers. Meta will reportedly sell both its raw GPU computing capacity and remote access to its infrastructure to companies so they can run their own AI models.
Shares of CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), a leading neocloud provider that provides many of the same services, have dropped nearly 11% since that news broke. Does that pullback represent a buying opportunity or a dire warning for the company's future?
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Meta's strategic shift surprised CoreWeave's investors, since Meta had just agreed to pay CoreWeave $21 billion through 2032 for its neocloud services this April. Meta also struck a similar multi-billion dollar deal with another neocloud company, Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS).
Therefore, it might initially seem odd for Meta to sell its own cloud computing power when it clearly needs it. Meta's agreements with CoreWeave and Nebius also prohibit it from reselling any of that cloud computing power, so it can only sell the excess AI cloud capacity at its own first-party data centers.
