尽管存在联系,微软仍将OpenAI列为SEC文件中的竞争对手

币界网报道:

微软表示,ChatGPT开发商OpenAI与谷歌、Meta和亚马逊等其他主要参与者一样,是人工智能(AI)和搜索领域的竞争对手。这包含在这家科技巨头向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)提交的年度10-K文件中。

此举引发了人们对微软意图的猜测,特别是考虑到其与OpenAI的关系。然而,该公司在其文件中表示,许多上市竞争对手都是当前或潜在的合作伙伴。

微软和OpenAI的利益

考虑到微软对OpenAI的重大投资,微软最近的举动出乎意料。Satya Nadella领导的公司向这家初创公司投入了130亿美元,持有49%的股份,并与这家领先的生成性人工智能初创公司建立了互利的合作关系。

然而,分析人士将微软的决定与OpenAI最近的行动联系起来,其中包括与苹果建立合作伙伴关系,将ChatGPT集成到iPhone制造商的设备中。作为该协议的一部分,苹果在OpenAI董事会中获得了一个观察员席位,这反映了微软在放弃席位之前的角色。

此外,OpenAI还推出了SearchGPT,这是一种新的基于人工智能的搜索工具,可能会与微软必应直接竞争。尽管必应集成了人工智能,但它在与谷歌搜索的竞争中仍难以获得市场份额,但批评人士认为,OpenAI的工具可能会成为谷歌的最大挑战者。

尽管提交了申请,但微软和OpenAI预计将继续保持盈利的合作关系。作为背景,这两家公司最近推出了一项200万美元的基金,在11月美国大选之前推动人工智能教育。

此外,微软对ChatGPT创建者的投资使其能够使用尖端的人工智能系统,这些系统已被用于增强其一些产品,如微软云服务和人工智能驱动的Copilot。

微软可能正试图减少监管审查

与此同时,将OpenAI标记为竞争对手的决定也可能是微软解决监管问题战略的一部分。这家科技巨头因对OpenAI的投资及其在公司内部的影响力,一直受到美国和欧洲反垄断监管机构的审查。

为了缓解反垄断担忧,该公司最近放弃了OpenAI董事会的观察员席位。去年,这家初创公司内部的戏剧性事件导致其首席执行官Sam Altman被解雇并重新聘用,之后它占据了这个席位。

通过这一新决定,微软可能会试图说服监管机构,它与OpenAI的合作不会阻止竞争,即使是两家公司之间的竞争。这家科技巨头一直在努力减少对OpenAI系统的依赖,甚至在最近提交申请之前。该公司现已成立其内部微软人工智能部门,由Deepmind和InflectionAI的联合创始人Mustafa Suleyman领导。

Explosion in Deep Sea Robots, the Hardest Series A Round Emerges

Deep-sea robotics startup Deepsea Zhiren has secured over 5 billion yuan in its Series A funding, a landmark deal backed by prominent investors including GGV Capital, Dachen Capital, Genesis Capital, Everbright Capital, China Life Insurance Investment, CETC Investment, and the energy tech fund managed by Cathay Capital with TotalEnergies as the cornerstone LP. Existing investors also participated significantly. The company, founded by industry veteran Ma Yiming, specializes in developing heavy-duty work-class ROVs for extreme deep-sea environments up to 6,000 meters, used in oil and gas, offshore wind, and subsea cable operations. Its product line includes models like "Taurus" (1,000m), "Phoenix 600" (3,000m), and "Singularity" (6,000m). A key achievement is securing multi-million dollar orders from UAE's telecom giant Etisalat, marking a breakthrough for Chinese-made deep-sea robotics in the international market. Deepsea Zhiren differentiates itself through full-stack in-house R&D—from pressure-resistant structures to control systems and AI—and a modular hardware approach. It has built a comprehensive internal standard system aligned with top global offshore specifications. The company is now advancing its "Deep Matrix" initiative, an unmanned, AI-powered, multi-robot cluster system designed for permanent seabed operations. This system aims to drastically reduce reliance on support vessels and human operators, potentially cutting costs in offshore oil field operations by billions over their lifecycle. The funding round signals strong market confidence in the deep-sea tech sector, recently highlighted in China's national policy. With the global subsea services market valued at around 1.5 trillion yuan and growing over 20% annually, Deepsea Zhiren aims to redefine deep-sea development through integrated hardware and embodied AI systems, positioning itself as a global pioneer in ocean robotics.

1confirmation: 5 Consumer Crypto Sectors Worth Revisiting

In the article "1confirmation: 5 Consumer Crypto Sectors Worth Revisiting," the author argues that the next breakthrough consumer crypto application may emerge from ideas that previously failed but are now ripe due to better infrastructure and timing. The five revisited sectors are: 1. **Internet-Native Assets**: Instead of tokenizing real-world assets (RWA), the bigger opportunity lies in creating unique crypto-native assets that don’t exist offline, moving beyond memecoins and NFTs to capture cultural moments or attention meaningfully. 2. **X-to-Earn**: Projects like STEPN and Axie Infinity introduced earning crypto without an initial purchase. The lesson is not that earning models are flawed, but that unsustainable token emissions failed. Future models need a compelling reason for users to earn and hold the assets. 3. **The Metaverse**: Past attempts focused on digitally replicating the real world (e.g., Decentraland). The core mistake was assuming virtual worlds must resemble physical ones. The real opportunity is reimagining next-generation online social experiences. 4. **DAOs**: While still existing, DAOs fell short of their potential by overemphasizing governance. The simpler, powerful use case demonstrated by ConstitutionDAO is collective funding for shared goals (e.g., buying artifacts, funding projects) by internet communities. 5. **People as Markets**: Past SocialFi/creator economy projects (Friend.tech, BitClout) tried to build markets around individuals but often made the person the product. The concept isn't wrong, but implementations failed. The challenge is creating markets around people without requiring them to be tradable assets. The conclusion emphasizes that successful consumer crypto apps will likely come from old ideas revisited, as timing and infrastructure finally align.
