Meta to begin deploying new in‑house AI chip 'MTIA 450 / Arke' in data centers next year

Meta is advancing its in‑house MTIA processor family, testing MTIA 450 (Arke) for 1H deployment and finishing MTIA 500 (Astrid) design for roll‑out by end‑2027 to reduce AI compute costs and energy.

In this brief: 2 sections 1 min read

- MTIA 450, codenamed Arke, is in testing and expected to run in Meta data centers in the first half of next year.
- MTIA 500 (Astrid) is expected to finish design in about a month and be deployed by end of 2027.
- Meta frames the chips as cost‑ and energy‑saving for running large AI models.
- On‑path to vertical integration: hardware designed specifically for Meta's AI workloads.
- Potential to shift economics of running Muse / Spark model families at scale.
- Timeline implies ramp in Meta's internal compute capacity over 2027.
