Meta Platforms has sold data center assets valued at $2.04 billion, strategically pivoting away from full self-funding amid rising AI infrastructure costs. The sale supports co-development agreements, enabling the tech giant to focus on partnerships and offload financial burdens. CEO Mark Zuckerberg aims to build an AI supercluster, with capital expenditures now projected between $66 and $72 billion. This shift reflects a broader industry trend towards shared infrastructure to mitigate risk and enhance operational flexibility.
