Meta Acquires Moltbook, Plans MTIA 450/500 Chips with 25× Compute Boost
Meta acquired Moltbook to strengthen its Superintelligence Labs and accelerate AI research. The company also updated its MTIA chip roadmap—deploying MTIA 400 to data centers this year, planning MTIA 450/500 by 2027 with 4.5× HBM bandwidth and 25× compute gains, while securing tens of billions in Nvidia and AMD purchases.
1. Moltbook Acquisition
Meta finalized the acquisition of Moltbook on March 12, 2026, integrating the startup’s AI research teams into its Superintelligence Labs to accelerate development of large-scale machine intelligence.
2. MTIA 300 and 400 Deployment
MTIA 300 accelerators are already deployed across ranking and recommendation workloads, while MTIA 400 has completed lab testing and is set for full data center rollout later this year.
3. MTIA 450/500 and Performance Gains
Meta plans mass deployment of MTIA 450 and 500 in 2027, with each new chip on a six-month cadence providing roughly 4.5× higher HBM bandwidth and 25× greater compute performance optimized for generative AI inference.
4. External Chip Partnerships and Procurement
Meta continues to partner with Broadcom for design elements and TSMC for fabrication, and has committed tens of billions in purchases of Nvidia and AMD chips to complement its in-house MTIA capacity.
