- After the launch of the Stargate project of $ 500 billion, goal is also out of dollars
- The $ 65 billion of goal is lower than the commitment of $ 80 billion of Microsoft
- AWS is ready to spend more than $ 75 billion, while Google has not yet said how much it will spend
If you have a few hundred billion dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you are probably considering spending it on an AI or two data center. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, recently announced Openai, Softbank and Oracle would launch a new infrastructure company of the so -called Project Stargate, investing $ 500 billion in four years in the United States. Operai said that $ 100 billion would be “immediately.”
Elon Musk, which is not alien to the construction of AI data centers and maybe a bit annoying about being excited, said the Stargate project does not really have the money, stating: “SoftBank has very less than $ 10,000 Millions insured “.
While that was developed, the Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, made a Facebook announcement, revealing that the company is “building a 2GW+ Data Center so large that it would cover an important part of Manhattan”, while describing other Aya plans .
A decisive year for AI
Zuckerberg’s complete publication says: “This will be a decisive year for AI. In 2025, I hope that Meta is the main assistant, which serves more than one billion people. Call 4 will become the leading avant -garde model, and we will build an AI engineer who will begin to contribute with increasing amounts of code to our R & D. efforts to feed this, goal is building a 2gw + data center. which would cover an important part of Manhattan. We will bring online ~ 1GW of computation in the ’25 and we will finish the year with more than 1.3 million GPU. We are planning to invest $ 60-65 billion in Capex this year while we also increase our AI teams significantly, and we have the capital to continue investing in the coming years. This is a massive effort, and in the coming years, it will boost our basic products and businesses, unlock historical innovation and extend US technological leadership. Let’s build! “
$ 65 billion in capital expenses is certainly nothing, but it pales compared to Microsoft plans of $ 80 billion to invest in fiscal year 2025 or the AWS of more than $ 75 billion intends to spend this anus. We do not know how much Google will pump the AI infrastructure, but it will be a similar figure.
That said, the goal investment is higher than most would have expected. PakGazette He points out: “Capital expenditure from $ 60 billion to $ 65 billion described by 2025 would mark a significant leap of the company’s estimated expenditure from $ 38 billion to $ 40 billion last year. It is also above the estimates of analysts of $ 50.25 billion by 2025, according to LSE data. “
