Meta Unveils 'Meta Compute' Initiative to Build AI Infrastructure
Meta plans to build tens of gigawatts of AI data center capacity this decade, aiming for hundreds of gigawatts over time, with $600 billion investment by 2028.
- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Monday Meta launched Meta Compute, a top-level initiative overseeing planning, deployment, and operations of its growing AI datacenter fleet under his direct oversight.
- Framing the move as strategic, Meta plans to build tens of gigawatts this decade, backed by a $72 billion capital-expenditure forecast and $600 billion infrastructure spending.
- Zuckerberg tapped Santosh Janardhan, head of global infrastructure, to lead technical architecture and datacenter work, Daniel Gross, leader of long-term capacity strategy, and Dina Powell McCormick, Meta President and Vice Chairperson, to manage government partnerships.
- Meta is building gigawatt-scale datacenters across Ohio, Louisiana and Texas, last week signing long-term nuclear contracts with TerraPower, Oklo and Vistra, reaching roughly 6.6 gigawatts of contracted atomic power.
- Facing competition, Meta confronts scrutiny after Llama 4's weak reception and a talent war with OpenAI, while peers Microsoft and Alphabet race to build genAI-ready clouds; the Department of Energy comparison shows one gigawatt equals roughly half the Hoover Dam or 2,627 Tesla Model 3s.
