Sources indicate that Meta has signed a contract to procure computing capacity from Crusoe's data centers located in Childress, Texas, and Warrenton, Missouri. Due to the confidentiality of the negotiations, the sources requested anonymity. It is reported that the total computing power scale obtained by Meta from the two projects is approximately 1.6 gigawatts (GW). The sources did not disclose the specific amount Meta will pay for this, nor did they specify when the related computing resources will begin to be delivered. Both Meta and Crusoe spokespersons declined to comment. In recent years, as the AI competition has intensified, Meta, like tech giants Microsoft (MSFT.US), Google (GOOGL.US), and Amazon (AMZN.US), is accelerating its efforts to secure data centers, electricity, and computing resources to meet the demands of large model training and inference. Currently, Meta's largest AI infrastructure project is a nearly 4,000-acre data center campus located in Louisiana, which is expected to provide up to 5 GW of computing capacity in the future. The company has previously committed to investing at least $60 billion in AI infrastructure over the next few years to solidify its competitive position in the field of artificial intelligence. Founded in 2018, Crusoe focuses on the construction and operation of AI data centers and has rapidly grown into an important player in the U.S. AI infrastructure sector in recent years. In addition to Meta, the company has also established partnerships with tech giants such as Oracle (ORCL.US), Microsoft, and Google to build large AI data center campuses for them. However, Crusoe has also faced challenges during the expansion of some projects. Earlier reports indicated that due to unsuccessful negotiations with Google, Crusoe's planned data center project in Wyoming was temporarily affected, and Oracle had previously considered procuring computing resources from this project. Earlier this month, Crusoe disclosed that the total capacity of data centers it has signed contracts for has reached 4.9 GW, with an overall project reserve scale exceeding 40 GW. This includes projects with signed lease agreements as well as data centers that are in discussions with potential clients or are in advanced development stages. Among the signed projects are the Texas Abilene data center campus providing services for Oracle and OpenAI, as well as Microsoft-related projects. Additionally, local media previously reported that a third data center project near Amarillo, Texas, has been leased by Google. Last week, Crusoe also revealed that two other data center projects in Texas and Missouri have confirmed tenants, but did not disclose the specific client names. The acquisition of approximately 1.6 GW of new computing resources by Meta once again reflects the ongoing escalation of competition among tech giants for AI infrastructure. In the context of expanding AI model scales, rapidly growing inference demands, and increasingly tight electricity resources, data center capacity is becoming one of the most important strategic resources in the tech industry At the same time, Meta is also facing increasing pressure to prove to investors that its massive investment in AI can deliver actual returns. As the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, Meta recently launched a paid subscription service for its AI chatbot for the first time, which is seen by the market as an important step in its exploration of AI commercialization. Analysts believe that as the company continues to expand its computing power reserves and drive the monetization of AI products, whether the AI business can form a sustainable profit model in the coming years will become the focus of market attention ### Related Stocks - [META.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/META.US.md) - [METD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METD.US.md) - [METW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METW.US.md) - [METU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/METU.US.md) - [FBL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBL.US.md) - [FBY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBY.US.md) - [FBYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBYY.US.md) - [MAGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MAGX.US.md) - [MSFT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [AMZN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZN.US.md) - [ORCL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL.US.md) - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [ORCL-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL-D.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Meta's CTO says morale is almost 'the worst it's ever been'](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289961445.md) - [A year after Meta tapped Alexandr Wang to build a new AI model, Zuckerberg has to sell it](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289689756.md) - [Meta’s new ‘AI Mode’ on Facebook pulls from public info across its platforms](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289818430.md) - [Meta signs new AI computing deals with data center firm Crusoe, Bloomberg News reports](https://longbridge.com/en/news/290248292.md) - [Meta COO Javier Olivan disposes of Meta common shares worth $838,800](https://longbridge.com/en/news/290111533.md)
