Developing your own AI chip
Meta Platforms Inc (META:NASDAQ) has begun testing its first in-house chip designed for training artificial intelligence systems. The move is aimed at reducing dependence on external vendors such as Nvidia, while improving computing power efficiency compared to traditional GPUs. Meta’s in-house AI chips could significantly boost performance and optimize the cost of running data centers.
Risk of fines from the European Union
The European Commission is currently considering fining Meta Platforms Inc (META:NASDAQ) for possible violations of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules. While the rules allow for fines of up to 10% of global annual revenue, a rather light penalty is expected. The European Commission’s primary goal is to achieve compliance with the rules rather than imposing hefty fines. This situation may have an impact on the company’s reputation and financial stability.
Share price movement
Meta’s share price has fallen by more than 4% in the recent period. This decline followed concerns about a possible economic slowdown and increasing competition in the artificial intelligence sector. The stock thus broke the uptrend that dominated early 2025.
