Using AI to make lower-carbon, faster-curing concrete

Meta has developed an open-source AI tool to design concrete mixes that are stronger, more sustainable, and ready to build with faster—speeding up construction while reducing environmental impact. …
  • The AI tool leverages Bayesian optimization, powered by Meta’s BoTorch and Ax frameworks, and was developed with Amrize and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (U of I) to accelerate the discovery of high-performance, low carbon concrete.
  • Meta successfully deployed a concrete mix that was optimized with the AI tool at a data center construction site. Being open-sourced and freely available, the AI-tool could help increase the adoption and optimization of sustainable concrete mixes in the construction industry at large.
