Zuckerberg took to Threads to boast about Meta’s AI infrastructure plans. But big facilities need large amounts of energy.

Prometheus will come online in 2026 acting as Meta's first-ever 1GW lab, with Hyperion launching in the years after, scaling AI compute power to 5GW, and these are Meta's mainstream AI projects. Meta will add multiple new AI clusters over the years, showing that the company is pushing heavily into AI, and plans to overtake the industry.

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has just said his company will spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build massive AI data centres for superintelligence. Two of these will be called Prometheus and Hyperion.

We’re calling the first one Prometheus and it’s coming online in ‘26,” Zuckerberg says. “We’re also building Hyperion, which will be able to scale up to 5GW over several years.” He also pointed to a SemiAnalysis report that goes into detail about Meta’s AI “Superintelligence” strategy,

Meta is reportedly offering massive salaries – up to Rs 1,600 crore – to top AI researchers from Apple and OpenAI. These hires will drive its Superintelligence Lab and long-term push towards AGI.

Investors allege in their lawsuit that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users’ personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump’s successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.
