Compute Is the Binding Constraint: Meta Pushes 'Iris' Custom AI Chip to September Production
July 13 reporting says Meta's custom 'Iris' accelerator (part of a four-generation MTIA roadmap) completed six weeks of testing with no major issues and is targeted for production in September, as Meta projects ~$145B in AI infrastructure spend and a 14-gigawatt compute target by 2027.
