On January 12 (local time), Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, unveiled the "Meta Compute" initiative. This ambitious project is designed to establish an AI infrastructure on a scale of tens of gigawatts by the end of 2030, with the ultimate long-term objective of scaling it up to hundreds of gigawatts.

In terms of leadership, Infrastructure Heads Santosh Janardhan and Daniel Gross will jointly steer this initiative. They will work hand - in - hand with Dina Powell McCormick, the newly appointed President, to drive forward the development of global infrastructure.

From a strategic perspective, Meta's decision to launch this initiative is a calculated move. By constructing its own computational power foundation, the company aims to secure core strategic advantages in the highly competitive AI landscape. This move is a direct response to the intense industry rivalry, as companies vie for supremacy in the ever - evolving field of artificial intelligence.
