Meta is investing billions of dollars to buy Nvidia's popular computer chips to support its AI research and projects。Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company plans to build a massive computing infrastructure by the end of 2024, which will include 350,000 H100 graphics processing units (GPUs) from Nvidia.。

These GPUs will be used to support Meta's research in the field of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is the company's long-term vision.。Zuckerberg said that the Meta computing infrastructure will contain almost 600,000 H100 equivalent calculations, while he emphasized the importance of GPUs。

Meta plans to responsibly open source its yet-to-be-developed Universal Wisdom and says this is the company's approach to its Llama series of large language models.。In addition, Meta is training Llama 3 and strengthening collaboration between its basic artificial intelligence research team (FAIR) and the GenAI research team.。

These initiatives indicate that Meta is increasing its investment in AI, particularly in supporting AGI research.。The company plans to make artificial intelligence one of the largest areas of investment in total spending in 2024.。
