The Deal
- 6.6 gigawatts of nuclear energy secured
- Partners: Vistra, TerraPower, Oklo
- Target: Prometheus AI Supercluster in New Albany, Ohio
For Context: 6.6GW Is Massive
- Equivalent to roughly 6 nuclear power plants
- Could power approximately 5 million homes
- Demonstrates the enormous energy demands of frontier AI training
The Broader Capex Picture
The four hyperscalers—Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon—are expected to boost capital expenditures to over $470 billion in 2026, up from about $350 billion in 2025.
Meta Superintelligence Labs
Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth announced at Davos that Meta’s Superintelligence Labs team has delivered its first high-profile AI models internally in January 2026. The nuclear contracts suggest Meta is preparing infrastructure for much larger models.
