Nvidia, Meta deepen AI ties with $3 billion investment deal

Oct 27 (Reuters) - Nvidia ‌and Meta ​said ​on Tuesday they would deepen their partnership on the Muse AI ‌assistant and related AI models, with Nvidia investing $3 ⁠billion in the Facebook parent's equity offering.

Here ‌are some details:

• Meta's ‌Muse models and agents, which run on Nvidia infrastructure, will work more closely with ​the chipmaker to improve performance and reduce costs

• Muse, known internally as Hatch, ⁠is central to CEO Mark Zuckerberg's plan to deliver "personal superintelligence" to ​the billions of people who use Meta's services daily

• Modeled on the ​open-source AI agent OpenClaw, Muse ‌can access a user's email, calendar, payments, health, shopping and smart-home ⁠applications, with users able to revoke access at any time

• Earlier in the day, Meta ⁠increased its equity offering to $97.5 billion, the largest fundraising ​in its history, as it accelerates investment in AI infrastructure

• The companies may also explore working together ‌more on Nvidia's OpenShell framework, including using it to roll out ‌software safely and using a tool called ⁠Sentry to monitor ‌how AI agents ​behave
