Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to spend up to $145 billion this year, making one of the biggest bets on artificial intelligence yet.
According to Meta’s latest earnings report, the company is pouring billions into data centers, AI chips, and infrastructure to compete with OpenAI and Google.
The massive investment comes as Meta pushes to build more powerful AI models, even as the costs of the AI race continue to climb.
- Raises its 2026 capital spending forecast to $135–145 billion.
- Reports $64.6 billion in quarterly revenue, up 26%.
- Plans to expand AI infrastructure and computing capacity.
Meta is spending at a scale few companies can match, but the financial returns from its AI investments remain uncertain.
Will Zuckerberg’s billion-dollar bet pay off?
