Meta Platforms, Inc. · 2026-09-23 · Importance 40 · Surprise 42

Industry reporting indicates that demand for AI computing power continues to outstrip supply, with shortages potentially lasting through 2030 rather than easing by 2028. Meta is identified alongside Apple, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Alibaba as pursuing different strategies in response to constrained AI infrastructure availability. Persistent shortages could affect Meta’s ability to scale Muse and other AI products, while increasing the strategic importance of its vertically integrated data centers, models, and distribution platforms.
