The social networking giant will increase its hiring for artificial intelligence roles, and will build a new 2-gigawatt data centter, which will be so big it would cover most of Manhattan in New York City. Meta is lusting after NVIDIA's latest AI GPUs -- spending tens of billions of dollars -- with an aim of over 1.3 million AI GPUs and plans to bring around 1GW of computing power online in 2025.

Zuck said: "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. To power this, Meta is building a 2GW+ datacenter that is so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan".

He continued: "We'll bring online ~1GW of compute in '25 and we'll end the year with more than 1.3 million GPUs. We're planning to invest $60-65B in capex this year while also growing our AI teams significantly, and 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. Let's go build!"
