(Reuters) -Meta Platforms is in talks with Google to spend billions of dollars on the Alphabet-owned company's chips for use in its data centers starting from 2027, The Information reported, a move that would cast Google as a serious rival to semiconductor giant Nvidia.

The talks also involve Meta renting chips from Google Cloud as early as next year and are part of Google's broader push to get customers to adopt its tensor processing units (TPUs) - used for AI workloads - in their own data centers, the report said, citing people involved in the talks.
