Meta has signed a contract with Crusoe to purchase computing capacity from two data centers located in Childress, Texas, and Warrenton, Missouri, with a combined capacity of approximately 1.6 gigawatts—equivalent to powering up to 1.2 million U.S. households simultaneously. The specific financial terms and delivery timeline have not been disclosed. Meta previously committed to investing at least $600 billion in AI infrastructure over the next several years. Its largest single project is a nearly 4,000-acre campus in Louisiana, with a planned capacity of up to 5 gigawatts. The agreement with Crusoe forms part of Meta’s strategy to diversify its sources of computing capacity. Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, recently launched its first subscription-based AI chatbot service. Founded in 2018, Crusoe specializes in building and operating large-scale data centers for AI workloads. Earlier this month, the company stated that it has secured contracts for 4.9 gigawatts of capacity and maintains a development pipeline exceeding 40 gigawatts. Crusoe’s client roster includes Oracle, Microsoft, and Google. After early negotiations with Google collapsed, Crusoe was forced to withdraw from developing its planned data center project in Wyoming.
