AI giants' gas bets could triple prices — Noreva warns of $10+ per BTU Meta opens Glimmer but keeps Muse Spark locked — Zuckerberg's 'for everyone' vision has asterisks Zhipu's GLM-5.3 tops US models on CyberGym, but trails on ExploitBench A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM On this episode of A Eye on AI: Natural gas prices could triple as Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft build massive gas-fired power plants for their AI data centers — a Noreva analysis warns the bets may not be prepared for price shocks. Meta releases an open-weight model called Glimmer while keeping its more powerful Muse Spark closed, alongside Mark Zuckerberg's letter arguing AI should be 'for everyone.' In US-China competition, Chinese firm Zhipu claims its GLM-5.3 model beat Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 on a cybersecurity benchmark (CyberGym), but trailed on ExploitBench. Plus, a rare US intervention to prop up the yen, fueled by Japan's sell-off of US Treasuries, and what Japan's sluggish EV pivot means for its last economic stronghold.
