Meta and CoreWeave have signed a new round of a significant agreement, committing an additional $21 billion in spending on top of their existing contract, highlighting the continued expansion of tech giants' investments in the artificial intelligence sector.
As announced by both parties on Thursday, the new agreement covers 2027 to 2032 and is valued at $21 billion. Previously, Meta had signed a contract with CoreWeave worth $14.2 billion, extending to 2031. Combined, the two contracts amount to $35.2 billion, making Meta one of CoreWeave's most important customers.
This expansion of their cooperation mirrors Meta's substantial increase in capital expenditure plans this year. In its latest earnings report, Meta disclosed that its capital expenditure for this year is expected to be between $115 billion and $135 billion, not only exceeding Wall Street's previous expectations but also nearly doubling its projected capital expenditure for 2025. Recent news indicates that CoreWeave has proposed issuing $3 billion in convertible preferred notes.
For the market, the significance of this transaction extends beyond Meta's purchasing decisions—it simultaneously marks a substantial change in CoreWeave's customer structure and further validates the robust demand for AI computing power.

<h2>Why Meta Still Needs External Computing Power</h2>
Despite Meta's aggressive efforts to build its own data center infrastructure (including a $10 billion investment in a Texas data center announced in March), the company is still opting to procure large-scale external computing power from CoreWeave.
CoreWeave's data centers are equipped with hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs, specifically designed to support AI model training and inference, providing the critical infrastructure for hyper-scale cloud computing enterprises to expand rapidly. CoreWeave's client base also includes leading organizations such as Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI.
In an interview with CNBC, CoreWeave CEO Mike Intrator stated that even clients with the capability to purchase computing power themselves still choose to procure it through CoreWeave, &#34;The reason is the quality of the products we provide.&#34;
Meta, in its statement, characterized this transaction as part of the company's &#34;infrastructure planning as part of a portfolio strategy.&#34;
<h2>CoreWeave's Customer Structure Optimized</h2>
The strategic value of this new contract for CoreWeave is also considerable. CoreWeave, which completed its IPO last year, was previously highly dependent on Microsoft—Microsoft contributed 62% of its revenue in 2024, indicating significant concentration risk.
Intrator revealed that after the completion of this new agreement, CoreWeave's revenue from any single customer will not exceed 35%, greatly enhancing its customer diversification.
Financially, CoreWeave had $21 billion in outstanding debt as of the end of 2025 and secured an additional $8.5 billion in borrowings in March of this year to expand its infrastructure.
Nevertheless, benefiting from sustained strong demand for AI computing power, CoreWeave's stock price has cumulatively risen by approximately 24% year-to-date, far outperforming the S&amp;P 500 index's roughly 1% decline over the same period.
<h2>Meta's AI Model Competition Remains Pressured, Partnership Expected to Deepen</h2>
While significantly expanding its investment in computing power, Meta's market position in the AI model sector remains relatively weak. Currently, this arena is dominated by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, and Meta's AI assistant products have yet to achieve substantial breakthroughs.
To this end, Meta has spared no expense in assembling the Superintelligence Labs team focused on cutting-edge AI model research and development, and on Wednesday released its new model, Muse Spark.
Intrator remains optimistic about the future of their partnership, believing that even as Meta continues to expand its self-built data center capacity, the collaboration with CoreWeave will further deepen. &#34;They will continue to build themselves, but they will also continue to work with us,&#34; he said, &#34;The risk of not doing so is simply too great.&#34;
