Serenity: Google's computing power limitations may explain Meta's major signing of AI Neocloud, which is beneficial for AI data center capital expenditure.
According to Mars Finance, on June 28th, Serenity published an article stating that Google reportedly limited Meta's computing capacity in March 2026 due to scarce computing resources. This may explain why Meta signed a large-scale cooperation agreement with AI Neocloud service providers (such as NBIS) at that time, and also resulted in some limitations on the capabilities of the Gemini model. Serenity pointed out that Google's CEO previously stated in an earnings call that insufficient computing resources limited Google Cloud from handling more customer demand, with the backlog of related orders almost doubling compared to the previous quarter. Serenity believes that this situation further illustrates that the computing power supply of hyperscale cloud providers is still far below market demand, and they cannot even complement each other's resources. In the long run, this will continue to support the logic of AI data center construction and capital expenditure expansion.
Meta's stock price surged over 9% at the opening, reportedly due to plans to enter the cloud computing market.
Mars Finance reports that Meta Platforms is building a cloud business, causing its stock price to rise over 8% at the open; while cloud service providers collectively declined, with Nebius falling over 14%, CoreWeave over 10%, and IREN Ltd over 6%. According to reports, Meta is planning to enter the highly competitive cloud infrastructure market, aiming to convert its massive AI infrastructure investment into new revenue streams by selling its excess artificial intelligence (AI) computing power and model access. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Meta is developing a new cloud business plan aimed at selling computing resources to external customers. This strategic move will open up a new competitive arena, allowing Meta to directly compete with cloud computing giants such as Amazon's AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. (Cailian Press)
Meta launches cloud service plan to sell surplus AI computing power
PANews reported on July 1st, citing Bloomberg, that Meta is building a cloud infrastructure business, planning to sell its AI computing power and model usage rights to external customers, directly competing with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Sources familiar with the matter said the plan includes hosting AI models such as Muse Spark on its own infrastructure, charging based on usage, similar to AWS Bedrock; it is also considering renting out "raw computing power" to compete with neoclouds like CoreWeave.
Google Cloud will provide specialized AI models for scientific research.
According to Mars Finance, Alphabet's Google will offer professional artificial intelligence models from software company Sandbox AQ through its cloud service platform. This move aims to expand the application of these technologies by businesses and research institutions, technologies specifically designed to accelerate drug discovery, materials science, and semiconductor manufacturing.

A high-risk CI/CD vulnerability known as "Cordyceps" has been exposed, affecting open-source repositories of several leading companies, including Microsoft and Google.
PANews reported on June 25th that 23pds, Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist, published an article stating that researchers have exposed a high-risk CI/CD vulnerability called Cordyceps. Open-source repositories of leading companies such as Microsoft, Google, Apache, and Cloudflare have all been found to be vulnerable in real-world testing. Attackers do not need corporate accounts or any system privileges; they only need to register a free GitHub account, submit a malicious PR, and leave a comment to forge approvals, steal server keys, and push malicious code, thus gaining complete control of the company's code repository.
