Meta is launching a major AI infrastructure initiative. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta Compute on Monday. The company aims to significantly expand its energy footprint. This move signals a massive investment in AI capabilities.
Meta plans to build tens of gigawatts of power capacity this decade. Longer term, the goal is hundreds of gigawatts. This expansion is crucial for developing advanced AI models. Susan Li, Meta CFO, hinted at these plans last summer.
The initiative highlights the growing energy demands of AI. Experts predict a significant rise in America's electrical consumption. One estimate suggests a jump from 5 GW to 50 GW in the next decade. Meta believes its infrastructure will be a strategic advantage.
Developing leading AI infrastructure is a core advantage. It allows for the creation of better AI models and product experiences. Zuckerberg has named three executives to lead the charge.
Meta will continue to invest and partner to build out this infrastructure. The company views this as a long-term strategic imperative. Further details on specific projects are expected soon.
