What To Know: Meta is in talks to spend billions on tensor processing units (TPUs) from Alphabet Inc’s Google ( GOOG ), according to a report from The Information. If purchased, the chips would be used in Meta’s data centers starting in 2027. The report also indicates that Meta could rent chips from Google Cloud as soon as next year.
