Meta plans to deploy its internally developed MTIA 450, also called Arke, in the first half of 2027. The company is expected to follow with MTIA 500, also called Astrid, in late 2027. Analysts estimate that using Meta’s own chips for AI workloads could reduce third-party chip spending by roughly $8.5 billion in 2027, indicating a significant supply-chain and infrastructure shift.
