According to Mark Zuckerberg, Meta will soon invest hundreds of billions of dollars in creating artificial intelligence products. To that end, the company plans to build a data center that is almost the size of Manhattan.<\/p>\n
One of the major tech companies that has recently made high-profile deals and paid AI researchers multimillions of dollars, some up to $100 million, to expedite work on machines that could outthink humans on a variety of tasks is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. This is known as “super-intelligence” or “artificial general intelligence.<\/p>\n
Zuckerberg stated that its first multi-gigawatt data center, named Prometheus, is anticipated to be operational in 2026 and that another, named Hyperion, will have the capacity to grow to 5 gigawatts in the next years.<\/p>\n
He also mentioned a SemiAnalysis study that said Meta was on course to become the first AI lab to bring a supercluster with a capacity of more than a gigawatt online. To allay investor fears about the return on the investment, Zuckerberg cited the company’s main advertising business as a source of strength. Following major personnel layoffs and setbacks for its open-source Llama 4 model, the company, which generated nearly\u00a0$165 billion in revenue last year, restructured its AI efforts last month under a subsidiary named Superintelligence Labs. It is speculating that the division may provide new revenue streams from smart glasses, image-to-video ad solutions, and the Meta AI app.<\/p>\n
