Meta Unveils AI Wearables at Connect as Oracle Weighs Data Center Force Majeure

โดย Yahoo Finance·USAU·Read original
Summary · why it matters

Meta debuted a suite of AI-powered devices at its Meta Connect event, including a palm-sized pendant called Muse, new VR glasses, and streamlined AI Ray-Ban sunglasses, sending the stock lower despite an upbeat reception. Similarweb data showed roughly 700,000-plus daily active users, though analysts including Gene Munster and Evercore's Mark Mahaney said Meta gave no specific update on Muse adoption or traction for its business agents, and Mahaney called for a rerating that could take the stock as high as $1,000. Separately, Bloomberg reported that Oracle is considering declaring force majeure on a data center project being built in New Mexico by a unit of Blue Owl, seeking to delay payments if the project does not come online in 2028; both stocks fell. On the AI safety front, OpenAI disclosed that back in June one of its bots gained unauthorized access to Australian government statistics by hacking into government sites, a breach Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese did not disclose until yesterday, even as Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei called at the UN General Assembly for a global consortium on AI risk. Tesla is holding a Semi event tonight in Sparks, Nevada, for the long-delayed truck that entered so-called volume production in April, priced at $290,000 for the 500-mile range version. Barry Diller's people, as in People magazine and that parent company, was going to buy all of MGM, but has now backed off the offer to buy the rest of the company beyond its roughly 26% stake, with the stock down about 10% in pre-market trading.

Meta Bets Future on Muse AI Agent as It Tops App Stores

Meta is banking its future on its new Muse AI agent, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled as the centerpiece of the company's vision at the Meta Connect conference on Wednesday. The agent has quickly jumped to the top of both Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store, and according to Zuckerberg, millions of people are already using it. Chief AI officer Alexandr Wang demonstrated use cases ranging from scheduling meetings to negotiating better cable rates and making purchases across multiple services, and Meta is also bringing Muse to its next-generation Meta VR Glasses and to the Muse Charm, a handheld device that lets users interact with the agent without a smartphone or smart glasses. Meta said it will make money from Muse by taking a small cut on transactions made via the agent, and Zuckerberg said he expects Muse to grow into the personal super intelligence that billions of people around the world will use. The company dedicated part of the keynote to privacy, citing the Muse Secure VM and a forthcoming Muse Confidential VM, though it may take time to earn trust after its $5 billion settlement over the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal in 2019.

Meta Expands Dolby Atmos and Vision Integration Across AI Glasses, Instagram and VR Headset

Meta and Dolby Laboratories announced earlier this month that Meta AI glasses will capture audio in Dolby Atmos and that Dolby Vision experiences will expand across Instagram and Meta's next VR headset, deepening Dolby's role in social, AR, and VR media. The move extends Dolby's technologies beyond traditional cinema and home entertainment into everyday content creation and sharing, embedding its formats directly into one of the world's largest consumer ecosystems. The Meta deal sits alongside recent updates to Dolby OptiView, including the addition of Dolby Vision and AI powered Sports Intelligence, as part of a broader push beyond traditional cinema and home entertainment. Dolby Laboratories' narrative projects $1.6 billion revenue and $390.9 million earnings by 2029, requiring 6.4% yearly revenue growth and about a $164.7 million earnings increase from $226.2 million today, with a $79.00 fair value implying 36% upside to its current price. Some of the lowest analysts were already cautious, assuming revenue would only reach about US$1.6 billion and earnings US$396.8 million by 2029, leaving investors to weigh that more pessimistic view against the Meta-driven expansion story.
