Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today, we're talking about some big news out of Meta. Zuckerberg says that Meta is launching their own AI infrastructure initiative. This is interesting. We've seen the same things happen from people like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and everyone seems to be rushing to build not just, you know, the latest model, but... The infrastructure that actually powers it because they know that this is kind of an area where it's hotly contested. There's a lot of competition and there just isn't enough infrastructure for everyone. So it kind of goes to the highest bidder unless you build your own. So I think when Meta first laid out all of its CapEx expenditure projects last year, it was pretty clear what they were doing.
They said that they were going to prepare to spend super aggressively and they were going to secure the infrastructure needed to compete in the highest levels of artificial intelligence. And that is not cheap. So today on the podcast, we're gonna be breaking down everything they are planning with this. But before we get into that, I wanted to say, if you want to test all of the latest models, including every model from OpenAI, Claude, Meta, Grok, a bunch of cool image generation models, and use them to create tools, go check out AIbox.ai, my own startup. I will leave a link to that in the description. All right. Let's talk about what's going on with Meta. Here's a direct quote from, well, I guess as a little background, during an earnings call last summer, Meta CFO Susan Lee, she kind of framed this strategy in really stark terms.
She was arguing essentially that the infrastructure itself was going to become like basically your competitive moat in the ai race she said quote we expect that developing leading ai infrastructure will be a core advantage in developing the best ai models and product experience so it's interesting i feel like meta isn't just looking at their compute capacity as you know like oh this is something that's going to support the company but really this is like their most strategic weapon they have I think right now Meta is moving really quickly from intention to execution. So like this is their goal, but they're actually executing on this really quickly. On Monday, Zuckerberg announced the launch of Meta Compute.
So this is a new company-wide initiative that is aimed at dramatically scaling Meta's AI infrastructure footprint. And they have this whole announcement that came out, but I think it's all basically centered on compute energy and long-term capacity planning. which is what Meta is going towards. So there's a couple different components in it. There was a post over on Threads, Zuckerberg's version of X, where he said that they're going to expand their energy usage at a scale that has rarely been seen outside of utilities or nation states infrastructure projects.
