Credit ‘Cockroach’ Jitters Shake Markets: Stocks Slide Globally as Gold Hits Record High

  • Meta's public AI service could bring in $10B a year on just a sliver of capacity
    July 10, 2026, 10:00 AM EDT. Meta Platforms is rolling out its first public AI model, Muse Spark 1.1, for developers and charging by data tokens. CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted strong demand from outside customers for Meta's compute power, saying it could challenge in-house use. The company plans to spend $125-$145 billion on capex in 2026, most of it for servers and data centers-almost double its 2025 budget. Analysts say that if Meta sold just 200 megawatts, or about 1.4% of its 2027 capacity, at premium rates, it could make more than $10 billion every year. That's a small piece of Meta's full server fleet and revenue but shows the profit in AI cloud. Meta will also start making its own Iris AI chips to cut back on outside suppliers.
