Mark Zuckerberg continued to investing in 2024 that artificial intelligence would be the key to the future of his company. In 2025, he intends to say his money.
Mr. Zuckerberg expects its capital investment in 2025 to an estimated $ 60 to $ 65 billion in 2025, and states that it will increase by up to 65 % compared to about $ 38 billion to $ 40 billion in 2024. 。
Many of the amounts are used to expand the meta installation area in data centers, a warehouse -sized building that provides computing power that enhances meta products and algorithms throughout apps such as Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp.
Mr. Zuckerberg posted to his Facebook page, “This is a large -scale initiative, promoting our core products and businesses in the next few years, and unleashing historical innovation, and the United States technology. Will expand the leadership. “
He also stated that the company would have more than 1.3 million graphics processing units (GPU) by the end of the year. GPU is a type of computer chip that is excellent in the calculation capacity required for the AI ​​system. In recent years, since the popularity of apps and products utilizing AI has been growing, the entire industry has a shortage of GPUs, and large and small technology companies are competing as much as possible from companies like NVIDIA.
The high -tech giant of Silicon Valley is competing to build the future of artificial intelligence and is involved in infrastructure development competition. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are all billions of data centers and infrastructure projects, suggesting that spending will not decline for the time being.
On Tuesday, President Trump announced a joint venture called Openai, Softbank, and Oracle, with the aim of investing at least $ 100 billion in US data centers. An organization that supports the project may invest up to $ 5 trillion in Stargate in the next four years. Elon Musk, who runs a competing artificial intelligence emerging company, later questioned the numbers.
Meta has long been intended to invest a large amount of data centers. In 2023, a $ 4.3 billion cost was incurred in 2023, as the company decided to redesign many of the future data center projects to prepare for the AI ​​project. The company has expanded the installation area of ​​data centers to dozens of places around the world, including Denmark's Odense and Hanzville, Alabama.
Zuckerberg said he would continue to invest a lot in infrastructure to support the future of computing using AI chatbots and other programs.
Last year, Meta announced that it will build the latest data center in the Luigiana Richland parish. The company announced that the size of the building would be more than 4 million square feet, but Zuckerberg said, “It will cover a lot of Manhattan.” “
“Let's go to build!” He wrote on his Facebook page and added emoji to bend muscles.
