Ben Thompson notes Zuckerberg’s unveiling of Meta Compute as a strategic bet that AI leadership hinges on owning the underlying infrastructure (data centers and tooling), prompting a retreat from Reality Labs to focus on scalable AI infrastructure and competing with OpenAI in the AI stack.
Meta announced Meta Compute, a top-level initiative to dramatically expand its AI data-center infrastructure, aiming for tens of gigawatts of capacity this decade and hundreds of gigawatts over time. Led by Santosh Janardhan and Daniel Gross, the effort will sit under a unit reporting to Mark Zuckerberg and is paired with Dina Powell McCormick’s work on government partnerships, as Meta earmarks about $600 billion for US infrastructure and jobs tied to AI data centers by 2028.
