The founder of the social media giant said one of the sites would cover an area nearly the size of Manhattan.
Meta’s founder Mark Zuckerberg has said the social media giant will spend hundreds of billions of dollars on building huge AI data centres in the US.
The first multi-gigawatt data centre, called Prometheus, is expected to come online in 2026, Zuckerberg said.
He said one of the sites would cover an area nearly the size of Manhattan (59.1 sq km/22.8 sq miles).
Meta has invested heavily in efforts to develop what it called „superintelligence“ – technology that it said could out-think the smartest humans.
The company, which has made most of its money from online advertising, generated more than $160bn in revenue in 2024.
In a post on his social media platform, Threads, Zuckerberg said Meta was building several multi-gigawatt clusters, and that one cluster, called Hyperion, could scale up to five gigawatts over several years.
