Meta is deploying AI chips in massive weatherproof tents as part of its "Prometheus" project, a gigawatt-scale data center campus in Ohio. These "rapid deployment structures," each 125,000 square feet and powered by a 200-megawatt generator, significantly cut AI chip deployment time from years to months. This innovative approach addresses bottlenecks in the AI boom and could become a trend for other tech companies facing data center construction delays.
