Extended read

Meta is shifting from a pure social media infrastructure model to a commercial cloud provider. By renting out its H100/B200 clusters during off-peak cycles or for third-party LLM training, Meta can recoup a portion of its multi-billion dollar annual capex. This puts Meta in direct competition with Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet for enterprise AI workloads.
