    Meta's Muse AI agent surpasses 10 million users, Zuckerberg says shopping is the main use case

    Meta CEO Zuckerberg said on the third-quarter earnings call that Muse has attracted more than 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada since launching in September, with shopping being the most common use case. More than a quarter of Muse users have completed purchases through the app, with an average order value of over $200; CFO Susan Li said users also commonly connect it to email and calendars for personal productivity management. Zuckerberg said Muse will launch on Meta smart glasses next month, and the company plans to monetize through commerce tools that take a cut of transactions, while most users will still use it for free.

    OpenAI Pushes Forward With $30 Billion Fundraising; Anthropic Prospectus Discloses Massive Compute Commitments

    OpenAI is advancing roughly $30 billion in fundraising with a target valuation above $1.4 trillion, seeking to lock in investor commitments before Anthropic's IPO, which is expected to launch in November. Anthropic's draft prospectus shows revenue of $16.3 billion and a net loss of $80.7 billion for the first half of 2026, of which about $72 billion comes from accounting charges related to changes in the valuation of financing instruments such as convertible notes; its existing compute-related commitments already exceed $600 billion. Since October, AI-related stocks have come under pressure, with SOXX down about 16.15% from October 2, as the market begins to reassess the payback period for massive capital expenditures.

    Embodied intelligence funding cools: Q3 financing 33.335 billion yuan, investors turn to real orders

    Incomplete statistics from Yicai show that in the third quarter of this year, at least 185 financing events occurred in the embodied intelligence field, with a total financing amount of 33.335 billion yuan, lower than the level of about 46.75 billion yuan per quarter in the first half of the year. Investors interviewed said that capital is shifting from casting a wide net to top hardcore teams, and that when institutions screen projects, they place more emphasis on real orders and how long the funds on the books can sustain operations, rather than demos and PPT presentations. Industry figures believe the sector is currently in a stage of value regression and bubble clearing, and that the financing channels for small and medium-sized projects lacking sustained cash-generating capability are narrowing.

    Amazon Cloud Warehouses Billions of Dollars of Nvidia GB300 Racks Due to Power Shortage

    According to Amazon internal documents and employee meeting recordings obtained by Business Insider, AWS is storing Nvidia GB300 racks in intermediate warehouses because its target data centers lack sufficient power. Internal emails show that Amazon expected to receive about $5 billion of GB300 racks in August, and about $3 billion per month thereafter; AWS Chief Financial Officer John Felton confirmed at an internal meeting in September that the company's free cash flow is expected to remain negative for the next several years. The report says Amazon has launched an Early Rack Receipt process to take ownership of racks before they arrive at data centers, while idle chips cannot generate compute, keeping GPU rental prices high.

    PerturbAI and OpenAI Jointly Develop a Parallel Research Framework with Nearly 2,000 AI Agents

    Biotechnology company PerturbAI announced a collaboration with OpenAI and Scripps Research to develop an AI reasoning framework in which nearly 2,000 AI agents work in parallel to analyze complex biological experimental data, search the literature, and propose testable hypotheses. When analyzing whole-brain CRISPR maps, the system completed the integration of data and research findings in 32 minutes; the company estimates that humans working serially would need months to a year. In blind-review comparisons against reports from a single AI agent, experts preferred the system's explanations 75% of the time. The collaboration has lasted about a year, and next the two parties will jointly conduct new drug target discovery using causal biological data from living systems; the relevant leads still require follow-up experimental validation.
