Lambda, a superintelligence cloud company, has announced plans to transform an unoccupied 2009-built facility in Kansas City, Missouri, into a state-of-the-art AI Factory.
This Kansas City deployment is part of Lambda's mission to build the infrastructure backbone for the "superintelligence era."
Under the agreement, Lambda is planning to develop and operate the facility as the sole tenant. The site is expected to launch in early 2026 with 24MW of capacity, and the potential to scale up to more than 100MW in the future.
When the facility launches in early 2026, it is expected to initially feature more than 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs—a footprint expected to double over time. The supercomputer is dedicated to a single Lambda customer for large-scale AI training and inference under a multi-year agreement.
Ken Patchett, VP of Datacenter Infrastructure at Lambda, said, “Our Kansas City development perfectly embodies Lambda’s strategy: a prime location for our customers, an accelerated deployment timeline, and an unwavering commitment to on-time delivery. We believe this success stems from completely rethinking how AI factories should be built and operated.”
The initial phase of the project is expected to include upwards of half a billion dollars and several employees and contracted staff working on-site, maintaining the extensive equipment and machinery.
Future phases at the site are still being evaluated and discussed with local partners.
