Description quoted from Epoch AI Frontier Data Centers

Meta Temple is notable for a mid-flight change in construction. A traditional H-shaped Meta data center was partially built on the site by 2023, only to be demolished in favor of Meta's new AI-optimized data center design. The power capacity of the new design was reported by construction company JE Dunn, and is backed up by our cooling model. Later, a third data center building was added to the plan. Compute capacity assumes that NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 servers are used, as these are the most popular AI chips at the time.

Methods and sources

Ownership roles

Title identifies the legal owner of the site; operation identifies who runs it. AI-hardware ownership follows the catalog’s attribution of the machines inside, whose owner may lease the facility.

Each role requires its own attribution. An operator named in a source supplies evidence of operation only.

Parent companies

Ownership checks start with each company named at the site and follow recorded parent relationships. A company holding several roles is checked once. Its linked company page lists the relationships and their sources; further parents may remain undocumented.

Level 1 identifies a company at the site, level 2 its parent, and each further level another parent. Export-control designations and government investments are assigned to the company concerned.

Missing values

Unrecorded roles remain blank. Findings whose company position is unresolved stay in the list with that position labelled unknown.

Publication limits

Subscription corporate data helps identify parent relationships and sovereign investments. Publication is limited to relationship classes and supporting public sources; licensed records, identifiers and values are withheld.

Epoch AI estimates capacity using satellite imagery, permits and corporate disclosures. Its catalog is the source for this site record.
