Meta is building a cloud business to sell excess AI computing capacity, positioning itself as a fourth major cloud provider alongside AWS, Azure, and GCP. The move directly monetizes Meta's massive capex spend and diversifies revenue beyond advertising.
Meta has been criticized for high capex without direct revenue from compute; by selling excess capacity it justifies spending and creates a new revenue stream, addressing a long-standing market objection.
Stock jumped 6-8% on the news; still early in execution.
