"The new organization is designed to secure the massive amounts of computing power-measured in gigawatts, each of which could power hundreds of thousands of homes-needed for Meta's drive to build AI models that lead to "superintelligence." "Meta is planning to build tens of gigawatts this decade, and hundreds of gigawatts or more over time," Zuckerberg wrote. "How we engineer, invest, and partner to build this infrastructure will become a strategic advantage.""
"Under the new structure, Zuckerberg said longtime Meta executive Santosh Janardhan will continue to run the company's technical architecture, software, custom chips, and the day-to-day building and operation of Meta's vast data center network. Meanwhile, Daniel Gross-one of Zuckerberg's high-profile AI hires from last summer, who was previously cofounder of Safe Superintelligence with former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever-will lead a new group focused on the long game: how much computing power Meta will need years from now, where it should be built, how to secure scarce chips and energy, and how to model the business impact of those bets."
Meta launched Meta Compute to secure massive gigawatts of computing power for advanced AI models aimed at "superintelligence." The company plans to build tens of gigawatts this decade and hundreds over time, making infrastructure engineering, investment, and partnerships a strategic advantage. Santosh Janardhan will oversee technical architecture, software, custom chips, and data-center operations. Daniel Gross will plan long-term compute needs, site selection, chip and energy procurement, and business modeling. Dina Powell McCormick will develop government partnerships to finance and deploy data centers worldwide, signaling large-scale investments in chips, power, and facilities.
