Meta Platforms is deepening its CoreWeave ​partnership with a fresh $21 billion deal for additional ⁠cloud computing capacity, as it rushes to catch up with rivals in the high-stakes artificial intelligence race after an underwhelming AI model ‌release last year. The latest deal, which extends through December 2032, is in addition to a similar $14.2 billion ‌agreement signed in September, CoreWeave said on Thursday. Meta shares ‌were ⁠up 3.1%, while those of CoreWeave rose 4.1%.

Meta ⁠has been rapidly expanding compute capacity to power the development and deployment of its large language models, benefiting companies such as CoreWeave, which provides ​clients with hardware and cloud ‌resources.
