Under the five-year deal, Nebius will provide $12 billion of dedicated capacity across multiple locations using one of the first large-scale Nvidia Vera Rubin deployments.

As a result, the AI company will begin delivery in early 2027.

Additionally, Meta has also agreed to buy additional compute capacity from future Nebius clusters, up to $15 billion over five years.

According to the company, it currently intends to sell this capacity to third-party customers of its AI cloud business, with the remaining capacity to be purchased by Meta.

Nebius founder and CEO, Arkady Volozh, said: “We are pleased to expand our significant partnership with Meta as part of securing more large, long-term capacity contracts to accelerate the build-out and growth of our core AI cloud business. We will continue to deliver.”
