Meta plans Prometheus AI cluster to outpace OpenAI Stargate with gigawatt power

Meta advances artificial intelligence infrastructure through its ambitious Prometheus project. The social media giant expects to launch this gigawatt-scale computing cluster by 2026. Company executives designed the system to surpass OpenAI's Stargate project in processing capabilities. The facility will generate power through natural gas plants producing 200 megawatts of electricity. Engineers plan to install 500,000 NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 processors within the data center.

Prometheus will deliver 3.17 trillion teraflops of computational power when operational. The cluster exceeds performance metrics of existing supercomputers by substantial margins. Meta's timeline requires 12 to 15 months for construction compared to three years for comparable systems. The company announced plans for Hyperion, a two-gigawatt follow-up project. These investments represent Meta's strategy to dominate artificial intelligence markets through superior computing resources.
