Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company is exploring ways to make some of its AI infrastructure available to outside users as an “AI cloud” business. Zuckerberg links the idea to Meta’s need for additional computing capacity to build and run artificial intelligence products, in a market where AI development and deployment face resource constraints. Speaking on the concept, he says selling access to computing power “makes sense,” suggesting Meta could rent capacity that would otherwise be unused or underutilized.

No specific timelines, pricing, customer targets, or details of the proposed service are provided in the available excerpts, but Zuckerberg’s confirmation places his name directly behind the previously reported exploration.
