Meta has significantly increased infrastructure investments for AI initiatives, including third-party cloud capacity, servers, data centers, and network infrastructure, and expects those investments to continue increasing. As of June 30, 2026, non-cancelable contractual commitments totaled $349.31 billion, primarily for third-party cloud capacity, servers, network infrastructure, data centers, and Reality Labs consumer hardware. Meta also had contingent obligations to purchase up to $14.72 billion of cloud capacity over five years, subject to potential reductions if the provider resells capacity to other customers. These commitments indicate substantial dependence on external cloud capacity and long-term infrastructure suppliers to support AI and core-product demand.
