Meta Platforms plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars to build massive AI data centers in pursuit of superintelligence, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The company's first multi-gigawatt data center, Prometheus, is expected to come online by 2026, with plans for another facility, Hyperion, to scale up to 5 gigawatts in the future.
Meta aims to assemble a top-tier team and invest significantly in compute resources for superintelligence, with plans to become a leader in AI development through gigawatt-scale AI clusters.
The company recently restructured its AI division into Superintelligence Labs, with a strategic focus on closed alternatives over open-source models, under the leadership of new executives from Scale AI and GitHub.
