Vision for Superintelligence

The social media company plans to bring its first multi-gigawatt data center, named Prometheus, online by 2026. Another facility, Hyperion, is expected to scale up to 5 gigawatts in the coming years.

“For our superintelligence effort, I’m focused on building the most elite and talent-dense team in the industry. We’re also going to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into compute to build superintelligence. We have the capital from our business to do this,” Zuckerberg said in a post on his Threads social media platform on Monday, July 14, 2025.

Zuckerberg cited a report by industry publication SemiAnalysis, which suggests Meta may become the first AI lab to activate a gigawatt-scale AI supercluster.

Multi-Gigawatt AI Clusters

“SemiAnalysis just reported that Meta is on track to be the first lab to bring a 1GW+ supercluster online,” he said, adding, “We’re actually building several multi-GW clusters. We’re calling the first one Prometheus and it’s coming online in ’26. We’re also building Hyperion, which will be able to scale up to 5GW over several years. We’re building multiple more titan clusters as well. Just one of these covers a significant part of the footprint of Manhattan.”
