Meta is constructing a data center named Hyperion to offer five gigawatts (GW) of computational power for its upcoming AI lab, aiming to enhance competitiveness against OpenAI and Google. CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted a 1 GW super cluster, Prometheus, set to launch in 2026, which would be among the first of its kind. The combined power of Hyperion and Prometheus will use significant electricity, potentially impacting local communities. While these developments pose risks, tech companies remain focused on establishing extensive data center projects to bolster their AI efforts.
