๐๏ธ Meta & BlackRock drop $14B on a 1 GW AI data center in El Paso
Meta and BlackRock just announced a joint venture to build a 1 gigawatt AI data center campus in El Paso, Texas, at roughly $14 billion total development cost. The campus is not expected online until 2028, but at this scale it shows just how fierce the AI infrastructure arms race has gotten. Is raw compute the new oil? What do you think this kind of investment means for AI progress?
