Zuckerberg says Meta will have 1.3 million GPUs for AI by the end of 2025

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in a recent Facebook post that the company plans to significantly increase capital expenditures in 2025, aiming to stay ahead of the fierce competition in artificial intelligence.

Zuckerberg said Meta expects to spend $60 billion to $80 billion in capital expenditures in 2025, mainly for data center construction and expansion of its AI development team. That budget range is nearly double the $35 billion to $40 billion Meta spent last year.

Zuckerberg also revealed that Meta plans to bring about 1 gigawatt of computing power online this year, which is equivalent to the power consumption of 750,000 ordinary households. In addition, it is expected that by the end of the year, the company's data center will have more than 1.3 million GPUs (graphics processing units), which will greatly enhance Meta's computing capabilities in the field of AI.

As competition in the AI ​​field intensifies, Meta's investment plan becomes particularly important. Currently, many competitors are also increasing investment in infrastructure. For example, Microsoft plans to invest $80 billion in AI data centers in 2025, and OpenAI is participating in a joint investment project called Stargate, which may bring it data center resources worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Meta's significant investment in the field of AI not only reflects the company's emphasis on technological development, but also demonstrates its competitiveness in the industry. Zuckerberg emphasized in the post that in the next few years, Meta will be committed to building a more powerful AI infrastructure to support its competitiveness in the global market.
