Mark Zuckerberg says Meta is launching a sweeping new compute initiative aimed at building the infrastructure required to deliver what he calls “personal superintelligence” to billions of people.
In a new post on Facebook, Zuckerberg announces the creation of Meta Compute, “a top-level initiative” focused on engineering, financing and scaling massive AI and data center capacity as a long-term strategic advantage for the company.
“Today we’re establishing a new top-level initiative called Meta Compute. Meta is planning to build tens of gigawatts this decade, and hundreds of gigawatts or more over time. How we engineer, invest, and partner to build this infrastructure will become a strategic advantage.”
Zuckerberg says Meta’s head of infrastructure, Santosh Janardhan, and Meta AI leader Daniel Gross will spearhead the effort.
“Santosh will continue to lead our technical architecture, software stack, silicon program, developer productivity, and building and operating our global data center fleet and network. Daniel will lead a new group responsible for long-term capacity strategy, supplier partnerships, industry analysis, planning, and business modeling.”
He adds that Janardhan and Gross will work with Dina Powell McCormick to establish a global presence for Meta Compute.
“They will work closely with Dina Powell McCormick, who just joined Meta as President and Vice Chairman to work on partnering with governments and sovereigns to build, deploy, invest in, and finance Meta’s infrastructure.”
Zuckerberg says Meta Compute is anchored to the social media giant’s long-term AI vision.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with Daniel, Santosh, Dina and their teams to scale Meta Compute and deliver personal superintelligence to billions of people around the world.”
