Mark Zuckerberg says Meta plans to invest “hundreds of billions of dollars” in data centres and computing infrastructure to power its artificial intelligence goals.
Mark Zuckerberg has said Meta will spend “hundreds of billions of dollars” on data centres and compute infrastructure to support its ambitions in artificial intelligence.
In a series of posts shared on Threads, the Meta CEO revealed the scale of the company’s long-term investment plans, which include building the “massive compute infrastructure” required to power advanced AI systems.
Zuckerberg wrote: “For our superintelligence effort, I’m focused on building the most elite and talent-dense team in the industry. We’re also going to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into compute to build superintelligence. We have the capital from our business to do this.”
He added: “Over the next decade, we’re planning to invest many tens of billions of dollars, eventually hundreds of billions of dollars, into our AI infrastructure.”
The first multi-gigawatt data centre – known as Prometheus – is expected to come online next year, and will be built in New Albany, Ohio.
Meanwhile, one of Meta’s multi-gigawatt clusters called Hyperion is being built in Louisiana, and is expected to be fully online by 2030.
Zuckerberg wrote: “We’re actually building several multi-GW clusters. We’re calling the first one Prometheus and it’s coming online in ’26. We’re also building Hyperion, which will be able to scale up to 5GW over several years.
“We’re building multiple more titan clusters as well. Just one of these covers a significant part of the footprint of Manhattan.”
Zuckerberg also confirmed that Meta expects to have around 350,000 H100 GPUs by the end of this year, or around 600,000 H100 equivalents when counting other hardware, in what would be one of the largest AI computing clusters in the world.
The H100, developed by Nvidia, is a high-performance GPU designed specifically for AI model training.
Zuckerberg described the infrastructure investment as “just one part of the stack”, alongside research and product integration.
He said: “Meta is one of the only companies operating at every layer of the AI stack.”
