Meta signs over $10 billion cloud deal with Google, source says
Aug 21, 2025 5:21 PM

Aug 21 (Reuters) - Google has struck a cloud

computing deal with Meta Platforms ( META ) worth more than $10

billion, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on

Thursday.

Under the agreement, Meta will use Google Cloud's servers,

storage, networking and other services, the source added.

Google and Meta did not immediately respond to requests for

comment.

The deal was first reported by the Information.

The news comes after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's comments in

July that the company would spend hundreds of billions of

dollars to build several massive AI data centers.

In June, Reuters reported that OpenAI was planning to add

Alphabet's Google Cloud service to meet its growing needs for

computing capacity.

Meta is seeking outside partners to help it fund the massive

infrastructure needed to power AI by offloading $2 billion in

data center assets, the company disclosed in a filing earlier

this month.
