Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has announced plans to offload $2 billion in data center assets to bring in external partners and share AI infrastructure costs. This move reflects a broader trend among tech giants to reduce the financial burden of building and maintaining data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) [1].

The social media giant disclosed its intentions in a recent quarterly filing, indicating that it has approved a plan to dispose of certain data center assets and reclassified $2.04 billion worth of land and construction-in-progress as "held-for-sale." These assets are expected to be contributed to a third party within the next twelve months for co-development of data centers [1].

Meta's Chief Finance Officer, Susan Li, mentioned that the company is exploring ways to work with financial partners to co-develop data centers, which could attract significant external financing and offer more flexibility if infrastructure needs shift over time. However, no finalized transactions were announced [1].

Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has previously laid out plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into constructing AI data center "superclusters." The company reported stronger-than-expected ad sales, boosted by AI-driven improvements to targeting and content delivery, which helped offset rising infrastructure costs tied to its long-term AI push [1].

In a separate development, Qualys (NASDAQ: QLYS) has unveiled groundbreaking Agentic AI capabilities for its platform, introducing a marketplace of Cyber Risk AI Agents designed to revolutionize risk management operations. The new AI-powered system delivers real-time risk insights and autonomous remediation across all attack surfaces [2].

The platform features continuous risk insights and prioritization, adaptive remediation capabilities, and a unique "Build Your Own AI Agent" functionality. The solution aims to address the growing challenge of cyber threats and complex attack surfaces by automating threat prioritization and remediation strategies, helping organizations reduce operational costs while improving their security posture [2].
