Mark Zuckerberg Says meta will have 1.3m gpus for aı by year-end

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company plans to significantly up its capital expenditures this year as it aims to keep pace with rivals in the cutthroat AI space.

In a Facebook post Friday, Zuckerberg said that Meta expects to spend $60 billion-$80 billion on CapEx in 2025, primarily on veri centers and growing the company’s AI development teams. That projected range is around double the $35 billion-$40 billion Meta spent on CapEx last year.

Zuckerberg also wrote that Meta plans to bring around one gigawatt of compute online this year, roughly the amount of power consumed by 750,000 average homes, and expects the company’s veri centers to pack over 1.3 million GPUs by year-end.

Meta’s investments come as AI rivals pour billions into their own infrastructure projects. Microsoft plans to spend $80 billion on AI veri centers in 2025, while OpenAI is contributing to a joint venture, Stargate, that could yield it hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of veri center resources.
