Meta Platforms Inc. has entered into a landmark cloud computing agreement with Google Cloud, valued at over $10 billion over six years, according to sources familiar with the matter. The deal marks one of the largest in Google Cloud’s history and signals Meta’s aggressive push to scale its artificial intelligence capabilities.
Under the agreement, Meta will utilize Google’s data center infrastructure—including servers, storage, networking, and other cloud services—to support its expanding AI operations. This is the first formal cloud infrastructure partnership between the two tech giants, although they have previously collaborated on smaller AI-related initiatives.
The deal comes amid Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s ambitious vision to build “personal superintelligence” for global users. In recent earnings calls and public statements, Zuckerberg has emphasized Meta’s commitment to AI development, including recruiting top researchers from competitors like OpenAI and Apple.
Meta’s capital expenditure for the second quarter of 2025 surged to $17 billion, with projections for full-year spending ranging between $66 billion and $72 billion—primarily directed toward AI infrastructure. The company is also exploring external partnerships to offset costs, including plans to offload $2 billion in data center assets.
For Google, the Meta deal follows its recent cloud agreement with OpenAI and reflects its growing influence in the AI infrastructure market. Alphabet’s cloud division reported a 32% revenue increase in the second quarter, outpacing overall company growth and reinforcing its competitive position against Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
Industry analysts view the Meta-Google partnership as a strategic alignment in the race to dominate AI services. Bloomberg Intelligence noted that Google Cloud’s flexible pricing and open platform approach were key factors in securing the deal.
Both companies have declined to comment publicly on the specifics of the agreement, which was first reported by The Information.
