  "title": "Meta’s Infrastructure Evolution and the Advent of AI",
  "why_included": "Meta's 21-year infrastructure retrospective, from LAMP to a 129k-H100 cluster and gigawatt-scale builds (Prometheus, 5GW Hyperion by 2028). Context on where frontier training capacity is heading, not something to use.",
  "summary": "**The gist** Meta traces 21 years of infrastructure, from the LAMP stack to AI scale: training grew from 128-GPU jobs to a single **129k-H100** cluster spanning five data center buildings, with **Prometheus (1 gigawatt)** and **Hyperion (5 gigawatts, targeted 2028)** next, plus custom **MTIA** silicon for ranking inference.",
  "practical_implication": "**Why it matters** The post maps what frontier-scale training actually requires — power, cooling, networking, orchestration — and Meta restates its open-hardware commitment via the **Open Compute Project**, where it accounts for roughly **25% of tech contributions**. Useful for calibrating how much capacity sits behind the hosted models your agents call.",
