Meta Platforms has announced a dramatic increase in its investment for the El Paso, Texas AI data center, raising the commitment from $1.5 billion to more than $10 billion, representing a sixfold increase from initial projections. Announced on March 26, 2026, the expanded investment aims to achieve one gigawatt of power capacity by 2028, positioning the facility as a cornerstone of Meta's AI infrastructure strategy. The project will create approximately 300 permanent jobs and employ over 3,000 construction workers at peak development. This move aligns with Meta's broader capital expenditure plan of $115-135 billion for 2026, as the company races to build computing capacity for its "superintelligence" ambitions.

Observable startup Dash0 has completed a Series B funding of $110 million, with a valuation of $1 billion, becoming a unicorn. The company is building an AI driven observability platform based on OpenTelemetry, challenging traditional vendors such as Datadog with the Agent0 intelligent agent system, and has served over 600 enterprise clients such as Zalando and Taco Bell.
