Meta taps Australia’s Firmus for AI computing capacity in Southeast Asia

Meta Platforms has entered into an infrastructure agreement with Australian firm Firmus to secure AI computing capacity in Southeast Asia, according to a report by Investing.com. Under the deal, Firmus will provide Meta with contracted capacity and expansion options built on Nvidia's DSX platform, which will support the company's AI research, model development, and training.

The financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. This partnership builds upon Meta's existing deployment of Nvidia GB300 NVL72 systems at Firmus' Melbourne data centre, which is currently the largest deployment of Blackwell Ultra systems in the Southern Hemisphere. Firmus, known for designing, manufacturing, and operating AI factories to support large-scale workloads, is also preparing for a $5 billion initial public offering to fund growth in AI projects, potentially making it Australia's second-largest IPO.
