Meta Plans 2027 Data Center Deployment for In-House MTIA 450 AI Chip

Meta is preparing to put its next in-house AI accelerator, MTIA 450, into data centers in the first half of 2027, extending a custom-silicon push meant to lower the cost and energy use of running AI models. The chip, internally code-named Arke, is part of a broader MTIA roadmap that shifts Meta deeper into purpose-built inference hardware while the company continues to buy large volumes of GPUs from Nvidia and AMD.
