Meta Platforms, in collaboration with Google and Microsoft, announced a new 'Open Data Center for AI' strategic initiative at the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit on October 14, 2025. The initiative aims to standardize data center infrastructure to more flexibly accommodate the high-density power and cooling requirements of advanced AI systems. As part of this effort, Meta will integrate NVIDIA's Spectrum-X Ethernet networking switches into its Facebook Open Switching System (FBOSS). This move is intended to enhance the efficiency and predictability of Meta's next-generation AI infrastructure, which is crucial for training increasingly large models and deploying generative AI applications to its billions of users. The collaboration with NVIDIA and the broader open standards initiative signal Meta's continued heavy investment in AI infrastructure to maintain a competitive edge in the field.
