Meta denies AI computing power surplus, stating that renting out computing power can sometimes be more valuable than internal use
Odaily Odaily Planet Daily News Meta CEO Zuckerberg stated that the company is considering leasing some of its AI computing power to external customers, noting that certain external quotes are so high that Meta believes renting out computing power may be more valuable than keeping it for internal use.
Zuckerberg emphasized that Meta is not experiencing an AI computing power surplus; the company is still fully utilizing its existing computing resources, and almost no company in the industry believes its computing power is sufficient.
According to reports, Meta is exploring two types of cloud service models: one involves hosting its own or third-party AI models and charging based on calls, and the other involves directly selling basic computing power, similar to the model of AI cloud computing company CoreWeave.
Furthermore, Meta has recently opened the Meta Model API and started charging for Muse Spark 1.1. Zuckerberg also mentioned that SpaceX’s short-term model of leasing computing power to external companies is “very interesting,” and Meta will also evaluate similar high-value transaction opportunities.
