Zuckerberg Unveils $65B AI Investment Strategy

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed a groundbreaking $60-65B capital expenditure plan for 2025, focusing on expanding AI infrastructure and aiming to make Meta AI the top assistant platform, with Llama 4 set to become the leading model in the industry.

Key details:

• Meta intends to deploy around 1GW of computing power in 2025, constructing a massive data center that could span a significant portion of Manhattan.

• The company plans to acquire over 1.3 million GPUs by the end of the year, positioning itself as one of the world’s largest AI hardware deployments.

• This investment marks roughly a 70% increase from its projected 2024 spending, with Zuckerberg forecasting Meta AI will reach 1 billion users by year’s end.

• The announcement follows DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI's Stargate Project, which will channel $500B into U.S. AI infrastructure.

Why it matters: The race for AI infrastructure dominance is heating up, with Meta and OpenAI investing huge sums to develop expansive new U.S. data centers. This aggressive spending continues despite DeepSeek’s recent R1 breakthrough, which demonstrates a Chinese model capable of competing with top industry players at a fraction of the cost.
