Meta, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is significantly increasing its investment in AI infrastructure, projecting a capital expenditure of $60 to $80 billion in 2025. This substantial investment is primarily targeted towards building new data centers and expanding its GPU capacity, aiming to possess over 1.3 million GPUs by the end of the year. This aggressive move is in response to the intensifying competition within the AI sector, fueled by the rise of open source AI models and advancements particularly from Chinese AI companies, and also the AI race with other tech companies such as Microsoft who are also spending billions on AI.
This massive expansion is intended to support Meta's ambitions in generative AI with Llama 4, aiming to develop an 'AI engineer' and to become a leading AI assistant serving billions of users. The company is building a massive data center consuming over 1 gigawatt of compute power this year which will eventually rise to 2 gigawatts, a move that is expected to drive core product development and extend American technology leadership. Meta's planned investment is part of a broader industry trend where rivals like Microsoft and OpenAI are also making significant financial commitments to build out AI infrastructure.
