In a bold move that would make even Tony Stark raise an eyebrow, Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Meta is cooking up several multi-gigawatt compute clusters. That’s right—clusters so powerful they could probably power an entire city of teenage gamers.
The first of these tech juggernauts is called Prometheus, slated to go live in 2026. And for fans of Greek mythology (or anyone who loves a good pun), the name promises *fire*—or at least some serious computing power. Then there’s Hyperion, which aims to ramp up to a staggering 5GW over the years. That’s not just a lot of energy; it’s enough to make you wonder if they’re planning to end climate change or take over the world.
Zuckerberg also dropped some hints about Meta’s ambitious AI ‘Superintelligence’ strategy, revealing some missteps and how they plan to course correct. It’s like when we order a salad, but what we really mean is three slices of pizza and a side of anxiety.
As we gear up for these mega-upgrades, one thing is clear—Meta isn’t just sitting back, sipping on digital lattes. They’re playing a long game in the AI arena, and I don’t know about you, but I’m here for the ride.
So, what do you think: will these compute clusters help us unlock a true AI superintelligence, or just leave us with a bunch of very well-informed servers? Let’s discuss!
