Meta to spend up to $65B on massive AI data center: 'Defining year artificial itelligence'
Briefly

Meta Platforms, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is set to invest $60 to $65 billion this year to expand its AI infrastructure, joining other Big Tech firms in significant investments. This includes constructing a massive 2-gigawatt data center. Zuckerberg predicts the company's AI assistant will reach over 1 billion users by 2025, with ambitions for its Llama 4 model to become a leading alternative. This expansion follows the success of AI technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT, prompting substantial commitments from companies across the tech landscape.
"This will be a defining year for AI," Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post. "This is a massive effort, and over the coming years it will drive our core products and business."
Zuckerberg expects Meta's AI assistant - available across its services - to serve more than 1 billion people in 2025, while its open-source Llama 4 would become the 'leading state-of-the-art model.'
