According to AIbase, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, officially announced the launch of an ambitious initiative called "Meta Compute" on Monday, marking the transition of the company's commitment made last summer to "build leading AI infrastructure" from a blueprint into large-scale action. To gain a core advantage in developing top-tier artificial intelligence models and product experiences, Zuckerberg clearly identified energy supply as a strategic high ground for the future, planning to build dozens of gigawatts of power generation facilities within this decade and expand to hundreds of gigawatts thereafter.

This ambition not only aligns with the projected tenfold increase in AI power consumption across the United States but also aims to turn infrastructure into an insurmountable competitive barrier for Meta through self-designed and invested energy facilities.

To ensure the precise implementation of this plan, Zuckerberg has assembled an elite leadership team across multiple fields. Company veteran Santosh Jannardan, the global infrastructure head, will take full responsibility for technical architecture, chip projects, and the global data center network; Daniel Gross, co-founder of Safe Superintelligence, who recently joined the company, will be in charge of long-term capacity strategy, supplier collaboration, and business model planning; while Dinah Powell McCammon, Meta's new president and vice chairman with extensive government experience, will handle negotiations with governments around the world to ensure the smooth deployment, investment, and financing of infrastructure.
