<\/strong> Meta Platforms is planning to invest hundreds of bns USD to establish AI data centers for superintelligence<\/strong>, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post on Threads<\/a>. The firm is also in the process of building more multi-GW and titan clusters, making Meta \u201cthe first lab to bring a 1 GW+ supercluster online,\u201d Zuckerberg added. Meta said it would spend as much as USD 72 bn on capital expenditures in 2025 to focus on AI and data centers, Bloomberg<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n

More projects in the pipeline:<\/strong> Meta\u2019s first multi-GW data center, Prometheus, should be operational in 2026, according to the news outlet. The firm will also build another data center, Hyperion, which should increase its capacity to 5 GW over the next few years. Meta\u2019s superintelligence lab would also include researchers who previously worked for OpenAI and DeepMind after an aggressive recruitment push offering eight and nine-figure salaries, the news outlet reports. <\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> OpenAI and Oracle are leading US companies involved in building a 5 GW US-UAE data center complex<\/a>, spanning 10 sq miles in Abu Dhabi, to house UAE hyperscalers and large enterprises. <\/p>\n

\n

The US has proposed taking control of the <\/strong>Zangezur Corridor<\/strong> between Armenia and Azerbaijan<\/strong>, Middle East Eye<\/a> reports, citing comments made by US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack. The proposal would see Washington bring in a US private company to act as a neutral operator for the corridor through a 100-year concession. <\/p>\n

Zangezur Corridor?<\/strong> The 32km-long road is a major contested point in diplomatic negotiations between the two rivals, holding up a final peace agreement. The road is part of the Middle Corridor \u2014 a proposed intermodal trade route connecting Asia and Europe, passing through Armenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, and other Central Asia countries, according to a Carnegie Endowment<\/a> report. <\/p>\n

A point of contention: <\/strong>While both countries, alongside their peace mediator Turkey, view the project positively and back its establishment, sovereignty over the link remains a highly contested area between Baku and Yerevan. As a mediator, Turkey considers Armenia a crucial piece of the Middle Corridor, with Turkish companies reportedly keen to get involved in any future infrastructure projects within Armenia, according to Middle East Eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
