Meta's Infrastructure Evolution: From Data Centers to Global AI Computing

About this episode

A two-part deep dive tracing Meta's journey from early data centers to a unified global AI compute fabric. We explore TAO, data center fabrics, the shift to a data center-as-a-computer mindset, centralized versus decentralized control, the private WAN and edge POPs, and the online/offline processing split—plus how openness and open-source projects like PyTorch and the Open Compute Project shape Meta's speed and efficiency.
