Meta's Ambitious Plans for Computational Power

Meta is working on several computational clusters, each with a capacity of 1 gigawatt. The first one, named Prometheus, is set to launch in 2026, while another, Hyperion, aims to scale up to 5 GW over the coming years. According to Mark Zuckerberg, one of these clusters will cover an area comparable to Manhattan.

In his post, Zuckerberg indicated that Meta intends to invest "hundreds of billions of dollars in computing power" to create superintelligence. He also emphasized that the company has sufficient capital to carry out these plans independently, without external funding.

Zuckerberg cited analysis from SemiAnalysis, which suggests that Meta is outpacing its competitors and could be the first company to launch a cluster with over 1 GW capacity. Meta is even constructing clusters in specialized tents to speed up the deployment of computing infrastructure. All of this is part of the transition from "AI incrementalism" to full-blown races for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

Meta is also assembling the "most elite" development team: the company has already attracted top talent from OpenAI and Apple, invested in Scale AI, and its CEO Alexander Wang is leading the development team.
