Overview
- Prometheus, the first 1GW supercluster, is scheduled to go online in 2026 at a gas turbine-powered site near New Albany, Ohio.
- Hyperion, under construction in Richland Parish, Louisiana, will ramp up to 5GW of compute capacity over several years.
- The newly formed Superintelligence Labs unites elite AI researchers and engineers following Meta’s $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI and the recruitment of its CEO, Alexandr Wang.
- Some facilities are being built in tent-like structures with prefabricated power and cooling modules to accelerate the build-out timeline.
- The effort escalates a competitive race in AI hardware, pitting Meta’s superclusters against rival projects such as OpenAI’s Stargate and Google’s new data center builds.
