Meta plans to invest $65B in expanding its AI infrastructure

Meta is planning to spend between $60 and $65 billion this year in the United States to enlarge its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg claims that 2025 will be ‘a defining year’ for his company.
“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,” he says in a post on Threads.
Before the end of the year, Zuckerberg intends to own more than 1.3 billion GPUs to facilitate the training of its AI model Llama 4. To make this happen, he’s planning to invest as much as $65 billion in the expansion of its AI infrastructure.
“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!,” Zuckerberg adds.
To power Meta’s expanding AI capabilities, the company will bring a 1 gigawatt datacenter online later this year. A 2 gigawatt+ datacenter, which covers a significant part of Manhattan, is also in the works.
His announcement comes only a few days after President Donald Trump revealed that several tech companies in the private sector are going to invest $500 billion in the upcoming four years, building a new AI infrastructure in the United States.
Softbank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX are the initial funders. ARM, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. Softbank will have financial responsibility, OpenAI will carry operational responsibility. Softbank’s CEO Masayoshi Son has been appointed Chairman.
A few weeks earlier, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced an investment plan to make the United Kingdom a ‘world leader in AI’.
“AI can transform the lives of working people. But the AI industry needs a government that is on their side, one that won’t sit back and let opportunities slip through its fingers. And in a world of fierce competition, we cannot stand by. We must move fast and take action to win the global race,” Starmer said about his investment plan.
