Meta’s AI push hinges on cheaper, faster infrastructure, not just a new model

Yahoo Finance notes Meta’s stock rally is powered by a quiet but transformative shift in its infrastructure economics: Reuters revealed an internal memo showing Meta plans about 14 gigawatts of compute capacity for 2026–27, with actual costs per gigawatt around $22 billion (far below many analysts’ estimates). This suggests Meta can expand AI capacity more cheaply than feared, supported by plans to manufacture in‑house Iris chips starting in fall 2026 and a cadence of new chips every six months through 2027, pointing to a highly efficient, vertically integrated AI factory and potentially strong ROI on its big capex beyond the Muse Spark model buzz.

Intel Says Trump’s Iran War Is Not Slowing Nuclear Progress

U.S. intelligence assessments cited by Reuters indicate Iran would require the same amount of time to build a nuclear bomb as after Trump’s last year strikes, undermining the president’s claim to have obliterated Iran’s program and suggesting further damage would require destroying Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium; Tulsi Gabbard has said there is no evidence Iran rebuilt facilities, while the ceasefire remains fragile as Trump fixates on other issues, including a White House ballroom, amid ongoing tensions.
