On Friday,Eric Falk Mark Zuckerberg announced a $60-65 billion investment into Meta AI.
"This will be a defining year for AI," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post detailing the investment. "In 2025, I expect Meta AI will be the leading assistant serving more than 1 billion people, Llama 4 will become the leading state of the art model, and we'll build an AI engineer that will start contributing increasing amounts of code to our R&D [research and development] efforts."

Zuckerberg went on to say that Meta is building a data center of over two GW (gigawatts, a big amount of energy) "that is so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan." Meta expects to bring around one GW of computing this year and will end the year with more than 1.3 million GPUs. Basically, the data center will have a ton of processing power.
"We're planning to invest $60-65B in capex [capital expenditures] this year while also growing our AI teams significantly, and we have the capital to continue investing in the years ahead," Zuckerberg said.
This announcement coincides with Zuckerberg being named in a lawsuit claiming that Llama was trained using pirated materials. Additionally, it follows the unveiling of The Stargate Project, a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment announced by President Trump and OpenAI. Stargate will also facilitate the construction of AI data centers.
"This is a massive effort, and over the coming years it will drive our core products and business, unlock historic innovation, and extend American technology leadership," Zuckerberg concluded his post. "Let's go build!"
