Five 1GW-plus “titan” clusters are now central to Meta’s AI rebuild, with Prometheus partly operational and campuses in Ohio, Louisiana, Iowa, Indiana and El Paso under development.
About 3,000 engineers—roughly 70% of new graduates plus senior staff—have been moved into a new applied AI engineering group to create reinforcement-learning tasks and environments full time.
The push follows Llama 4’s failure and includes a $14.3 billion Scale AI investment, aggressive recruiting packages and employee workflow tracking to capture high-value training data.
Meta says its in-house infrastructure gives it unusual flexibility to scale compute, including linking campuses across up to 2,000 kilometers, as it tries to close the gap with OpenAI and Anthropic.
