Amazon Web Services has announced a $120 billion investment to build the world's largest AI computing campus in the Texas Hill Country near Marble Falls. The project, spanning 2,800 acres, will house 40 data center buildings, a dedicated renewable energy generation facility, and an on-site workforce training center.
Construction will create 35,000 jobs immediately. Once operational by 2028, the campus will employ 50,000 full-time workers with average salaries above $95,000 β transforming the regional economy of central Texas.
The campus will power AWS's next generation of AI services, including a rumored real-time AI assistant that integrates with every AWS product. Industry analysts estimate the cluster will be capable of training models 10 times larger than GPT-4.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott called it "the largest single private investment in Texas history" and announced $2.3 billion in state infrastructure investment to support roads, water, and power grid upgrades around the site.
