Meta showcases the hardware that will power recommendations for Facebook and Instagram — low-cost RISC-V cores and mainstream LPDDR5 memory are at the heart of its MTIA recommendation inference CPU

MTIA chip.

Meta unveiled its first-generation in-house AI inference accelerator designed to power the ranking and recommendation models that are key components of Facebook and Instagram back in 2023.

The Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) chip, which can handle inference but not training, was updated in April, and doubled the compute and memory bandwidth of the first solution.
