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。

Foundation Steps Back, Ethlabs Steps Forward: Ethereum Undergoes Its Largest Restructuring in History

On June 23rd, the Ethereum ecosystem witnessed two major shifts, signaling a significant governance realignment. First, former Ethereum Foundation researchers established Ethlabs, a new independent non-profit. Backed by major ETH holders like Bitmine and SharpLink, Ethlabs aims to address practical needs for institutional adoption, including faster settlement, native asset issuance, cross-chain transactions, and mainnet scaling. Secondly, the Ethereum Foundation announced a major restructuring, laying off 54 employees (20% of its staff) to become a leaner entity focused on protocol governance and maintenance rather than being the primary builder. This move represents a pivotal correction. Criticisms had mounted over the Foundation's perceived slowness, lack of clear strategy, and over-reliance on Vitalik Buterin's influence. Ethlabs emerges as a more execution-oriented, "industrialized" layer focused on market adoption—bridging the gap between research and real-world use. Notably, Vitalik Buterin is absent from its list of supporters, interpreted as an intentional step to avoid excessive personal endorsement and allow the organization to build independent credibility. The Ethereum Foundation's downsizing and redefinition mark a retreat from its former central coordinating role. It now aims to share the "privilege of stewarding Ethereum" with other emerging groups like Ethlabs, the Ethereum Applications Guild, and The Ethereum Economic Zone. Analysts frame this dual shift as the Foundation ensuring Ethereum remains "correct" (credibly neutral), while Ethlabs must prove it remains "effective" (competitive and attractive for capital and adoption). This addresses community "shareholder-like anxiety" about ETH's market performance. While risks exist—such as concerns over shifting from Foundation centrality to large-holder influence—the consensus is that the greater risk for Ethereum was inaction, caught between technical idealism and organizational inertia. These steps aim to create a more multi-stakeholder, execution-driven future for the network.

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.

Research Report Analysis: Morgan Stanley Details SanDisk SNDK, The Truth About Cloud Data Center Pricing Power and AI Inference Benefits

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for SanDisk (SNDK) from $1100 to $1750 on June 22, maintaining an Overweight rating. The upgrade is driven by AI inference demand reshaping the NAND market, particularly for KV Cache and context window storage in cloud data centers. These cloud clients exhibit price inelasticity and sign long-term contracts, granting SanDisk significant pricing power. SanDisk's New Business Model (NBM) agreements, covering over one-third of FY27 bit shipments with 3-5 year terms and fixed price/price collar structures, are crucial. They are projected to sustain gross margins around 80% even at floor prices, providing a buffer against cyclical downturns. Morgan Stanley forecasts gross margins to surge from 30.3% in FY25 to 86.7% in FY27e. With NAND supply expected to remain tight into 2026/2027 and cloud/data centers becoming the largest end-market, SanDisk holds supply-side pricing power. The company targets 15-19% bit growth via technology transitions, not capacity expansion. Revenue is projected to grow ~6.6x from FY25 to FY27, with EPS rising from $2.74 to $14.73, driven by high-margin cloud business. Key upside catalysts include faster enterprise SSD adoption and edge AI growth. Downside risks involve slower industry growth, competitor capex increases, market share loss, and competition from Chinese players like YMTC. The investment thesis rests on AI-driven structural demand, NBM's margin protection, and sustained supply tightness. The $1750 target implies ~28x FY27e P/E.
