Facebook also established a self-designed chip group
Bloomberg reported that Facebook is entering an early stage of developing its own chips for devices and servers. They are hiring assembly managers 'SoC / ASIC end-to-end systems, firmware and driver development organizations', showing desire for autonomy, less dependent on external companies like Qualcomm.
Facebook is the latest technology giant to enter this autonomy path. Earlier, Apple had produced its own chips in iOS devices, and there were reports that they were planning to replace Intel chips in Macs with their own chips. Google also has customized AI chips and uses its first customer-oriented chip (image processor) in the Pixel 2. It seems they have even greater ambitions when a piece of hardware they produce also edges. compete with Apple. Amazon is also said to be developing chips to improve Alexa's AI.
- Apple will stop using Intel chips on Macs from 2020, switching to 'homegrown' chips.
- Apple 'home' chip manufacturing journey, threatening rulers Qualcomm and Intel
The work group that Facebook is recruiting is classified in the infrastructure group, so perhaps this chip team will target AI servers. Currently these servers, which train Facebook's AI system, are using Nvidia chips.
Mark Zuckerberg said that AI will play a bigger role in reporting inappropriate content on social networks, though this is not really a possible solution to the deeper issues they are facing.

Maybe Facebook will also use chips on smart speakers or its Oculus virtual reality headset. This will help them improve and optimize which only performs hardware and software testing that is closely linked during development.
Currently, Facebook is still facing problems allegedly monitoring users, although there is evidence of their innocence. So if you use their own chips, the problem is probably in trust.
