Different companies have approached Meta to request an API service or to purchase compute services at a premium price. Meta has not offered these options yet because it believes it has internal use for the compute. When internal capacity is considered overbuilt, selling compute services becomes an option. Meta has been expanding data centers over the past few years, creating potential for excess capacity. Meta is also developing its own AI chips. For now, Meta likely needs all available capacity because AI usage has increased significantly after the launch of Muse Spark, a new AI model from Meta Superintelligence Lab.
"Different companies were approaching Meta asking for the company to offer an API service or to buy compute services at a premium price. "We haven't done it yet, because we think we have a use for the compute, but when we feel we have overbuilt, then that is an option that we have.""
"Meta has been active in developing its data centers over the past few years, so there will be a possibility of some excess capacity. It is also developing its own AI chips. For the moment, though, the company may well need all the capacity it can build: Zuckerberg said that the launch of Muse Spark, a new AI model from Meta Superintelligence Lab, had resulted in large increases in Meta's AI usage."
