META ANNOUNCES $65BN AI INVESTMENT FOR 2025
Read Time:2 Minute, 3 Second
Tech giant Meta has revealed plans to invest up to $65 billion in bolstering its Artificial Intelligence infrastructure and driving innovation.
This significant investment aligns with the company’s strategy to spearhead advancements in AI, improve its core services, and expand its infrastructure to support cutting-edge developments.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, detailed the company’s upcoming steps to achieve these ambitious objectives.
“We’re planning to invest $60-65 billion in capital expenditures this year while also significantly growing our AI teams,” the world’s second-richest man wrote.
He added, “We have the capital to continue investing in the years ahead. 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.”
To support these efforts, Meta is building a massive data center with more than 2 gigawatts of power capacity. The centre will be so large that it could cover a significant portion of Manhattan (A county in the US), underscoring the scale of the infrastructure required.
Meta also plans to create an AI system capable of autonomously contributing to its research and development by writing code. This AI will assist in developing other AI systems and software.
“This will be a defining year for AI. 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 efforts,” Zuckerberg said.
He added, “To power this, Meta is building a 2GW+ data center, which is so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan. We’ll bring approximately 1GW of compute online in 2025, and we’ll end the year with more than 1.3 million GPUs.”
The growing interest in AI investments is fueled by the success of platforms like ChatGPT, which has motivated companies across various industries to embrace AI technologies.
Microsoft has unveiled plans to invest $80 billion in AI and cloud infrastructure for fiscal 2025. This investment aims to enhance data centers critical for training AI models and deploying applications, with over half of the funding allocated to the U.S.
Similarly, Google is prioritizing AI advancements, with its Cloud division witnessing significant growth driven by the increasing adoption of AI solutions.
