Meta may monetise surplus AI compute and enter cloud services

Friends, I’d like to share a development from the AI and cloud infrastructure space.

According to Bloomberg, Meta is considering launching a cloud business: offering access to compute and models running on its AI infrastructure.

This is a notable shift after multibillion-dollar investments in data centres. In effect, the company could start monetising not only models, but also the underlying capacity.

As with similar moves by SpaceX, this underscores a broader trend: in the AI race, value may accrue not only to model builders, but also to those who control compute.

Why it matters: demand for compute is becoming a market of its own, and infrastructure is emerging as a new strategic asset.

Do you see this as rational monetisation or a sign of market overheating?
