Crusoe, an artificial intelligence company, has filed plans for two massive data centers in Jayton, Texas, with a combined investment of $4.8 billion. Each 759,260 square foot building is part of Project Hyper, which includes three facilities estimated to cost $2.4 billion each. Construction is set to begin in January 2027, with the first facility operational by May 2029 and the second in July 2029.

The Jayton site, located between Childress and Abilene, will increase West Texas' capacity for AI investment to $12 billion. No specific street addresses were provided, and it remains unclear whether Crusoe will operate the facilities or find customers before completion.
