Announces a data center almost as large as Manhattan and up to 65,000 million investment

We are witnessing how the race is accelerated for the development of the artificial intelligence (AI). After Stargate ad, An initiative of 500,000 million dollars that promises to greatly benefit OpenAIthe target movement arrives. The social networks giant plans to invest up to 65,000 million dollars this year to consolidate its role in this strategic area.

Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s CEO, has said In a publication in Threads that part of this money will be used in the construction of a data center of more than 2 gigawatts. According to their size, data centers to hyperscala may need from megawatts to gigawatts of power. In this case, we are facing an installation that “could cover a significant part of Manhattan.”

A huge effort … and staggered

As expected, not the entire planned cluster will start operating at the same time. Goal expects to put online around 1.3 million GPU Specialized for the end of the year, which will require 1 power gigavatio. The works will continue to reach the power stop in the following months with the objective of promoting the main long -term target products and businesses.

But the Menlo Park company also has some more immediate purposes: it wants it to call 4, A model of AI that is expected to arrive this yearbecome a latest generation leader. We can interpret this as an online missile for Openai and its most advanced models, such as GPT-4O. Goal also wants to develop an AI Engineer system.

The Meta calls have pleasantly surprised the industry. Yes ok Zuckerberg is stubborn to use the term Open Source incorrectlythese products are available to most users and offer good results. In addition, they give life to the generative functions used by millions of users of Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp through Goal AI.

For a while, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud cloud infrastructure have been one of the most outstanding market. Now we are seeing how companies such as Openai and Meta allocate billions of dollars to mount their own hardware. In this reconfiguration Nvidia is presented as one of the great winnersbecause it is the one who supplies most of the specialized GPUs for Ia.
