Hyperscalers Race to Cut Data-Center Build Times as AI Compute Demand Surges

Tech companies are trying to shave months off data-center construction as they race to lock in AI computing capacity, turning prefabricated power, cooling, and hall modules into a core competitive tactic. Traditional large facilities can still take as long as three years to complete, a lag operators say they can no longer afford in a build-out described as a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure contest.
