The PPP Prediction Market Tool monitors that on Polymarket, for the event "Will the US government ban open-source AI models in 2026?", the "Yes" probability is currently at 16%.According to the resolution rules, if the US federal government, before December 31, 2026, through legislation, executive orders, export controls, or other formal policy actions, restricts the US public's access or use of a specific open-source AI model, the market outcome will be resolved as "Yes." Otherwise, the market outcome will be resolved as "No." Eligible open-source AI models refer to general-purpose large language models or multimodal foundation models whose model weights and source code are publicly downloadable and can be run on hardware under user control, such as Meta Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, etc.Recently, the open-source Kimi K3 model launched by Moonshot AI has drawn market attention to whether it will impact closed-source AI. OpenAI's Director of Strategy, Dean W. Ball, stated on X platform that the US government might adopt soft legal measures to prevent open-source models from entering the US. David Sacks, Chairman of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, believes that using regulatory uncertainty to suppress open-source competition is "unacceptable."Join the PPP Signal Push Community to stay ahead and seize the opportunity.

SemiAnalysis posted on X platform, stating that a YAML configuration file made public on GitHub by a senior AI executive at AMD shows that Anthropic is listed as an AMD "customer," currently possibly in the product evaluation or testing phase. The document reveals that Anthropic has been granted the highest priority of 30 points, placing it on the same level as existing hyperscale customers like Meta. It is important to note that Anthropic is still in the evaluation stage.
Odaily "White Hair Stock God" Serenity posted on platform X, stating that due to the recent market downturn, his investment portfolio experienced a maximum drawdown of 49.4% this month. However, he still maintains his view on the long-term trend of the AI industry chain.Serenity revealed that his investment portfolio is mainly concentrated in key segments of the AI industry chain, including: semiconductor upstream, memory chips, photonics, humanoid robotics, and AI infrastructure-related companies. Because these areas typically have higher beta attributes, he previously used leveraged investments but has reduced the leverage level after the current round of market decline.Facing market skepticism towards AI-related assets, Serenity stated that recently a large number of investors have begun to believe: "AI is a bubble," "memory chips and the Korean KOSPI market are a bubble," "photonics is a bubble,""humanoid robots will not succeed," and "Neocloud (new AI cloud service providers) will eventually be replaced by hyperscale cloud vendors like Meta." Meanwhile, some retail investors and trading bots have even started advocating for "liquidating everything, the market will not recover."Serenity said he still believes these investment themes are supported by structural revenue growth and technological change. He experienced similar drawdowns in the past when global tariff risks impacted the market, and the market eventually rebounded. His investment horizon is long-term, allowing him to withstand higher volatility, and he will not change his long-term judgment based on short-term price fluctuations. Sharing this drawdown data is also to maintain transparency, allowing the market to see the real risks behind high-volatility growth investments.Serenity added: "If my prediction is that the revenue inflection point will come in the second half of 2027, and it is only 2026 now, then a decline of just a few weeks or months doesn't prove that the investment thesis has failed."

According to TechFlow Research, Morgan Stanley's July 10 report projects that in 2028, the combined capital expenditure of the five major hyperscalers—Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, and SpaceX—will reach $1.4 trillion, a more than threefold increase from 2025 levels; available compute capacity will expand from 30GW to 120GW. Meta is listed as the top pick, with 2027/2028 Capex raised to $225 billion/$250 billion. Morgan Stanley particularly emphasizes Meta's API business opportunities: Muse Spark 1.1 pricing is 30%-86% lower than peers, and every 100MW of compute capacity can generate approximately $8 billion in revenue and approximately $1.9 per share in EPS increment. The deciding factor in the compute race is shifting from "how much to build" to "how much to sell," as Meta simultaneously holds five monetization paths. Morgan Stanley maintains an Overweight rating on Meta, Amazon, and Google.

According to TechFlow Research, a July 13 report from JPMorgan pointed out that Starbucks building its own AI tools to replace Microsoft and IBM software, Microsoft using its self-developed MAI to replace OpenAI and Anthropic models, and Meta developing cloud business to sell AI compute collectively illustrate a trend: the software profit pool is shifting downstream from the model layer. DigitalOcean's Q2 remaining performance obligations exceeded $800 million, a 10-fold year-over-year increase, with AI inference already accounting for a significant portion; over half of Cloudflare's requests originate from AI agents, and it launched a crawler paywall to open new revenue sources. Morgan Stanley believes model providers face pressure of being replaced, infrastructure layer demand remains strong but the structure is changing, enterprise customers' bargaining power is rising, and investment logic needs to shift from "model as winner" to "infrastructure and intermediary layers".

According to CCTV Finance, the US stock memory chip sector encountered a collective correction after hitting a high in late June, with industry leaders such as SanDisk, Micron Technology, Seagate Technology, and Western Digital seeing stock price declines of over 20% in the past few weeks. The triggering factor was Meta selling computing power, which sparked market concerns about a surplus in computing power, while the core variable lies in whether the technical gaps between various AI large models will continue to narrow. Industry insiders point out that the memory chip industry has historically exhibited significant cyclicality—during booms, manufacturers collectively expand production leading to plummeting prices and industry-wide losses, followed by collective contraction in capital expenditure. Meanwhile, the industry's business model is undergoing profound changes, with cloud vendors and AI data centers increasingly signing 3-to-5-year long-term supply agreements with original manufacturers, including price ranges and minimum purchase volumes, to ensure the stability of key supply chains.

According to Southern Metropolitan Daily, Tencent is negotiating to become the largest shareholder of general AI Agent company Manus. A consortium of Chinese capital led by Tencent plans to repurchase all equity of Manus from Meta at a valuation of approximately 2 billion USD. However, sources familiar with the matter revealed that upon completion of the transaction, Tencent will still maintain a minority shareholder status and will not hold a controlling stake. Manus is an AI Agent product launched by Butterfly Effect Company. It went viral overnight in China in March 2025, and its annualized revenue has exceeded 100 million USD. Previously, Meta announced the acquisition of Manus, but due to the intervention of the Ministry of Commerce and the foreign investment security review mechanism, the acquisition was legally prohibited and required to be revoked in April 2026. This repurchase by Chinese capital marks the subsequent progress following the halt of the acquisition.

the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and PitchBook recently released the "Venture Monitor" report, noting that after SpaceX's listing and the potential IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI, the combined value generated by these three companies will reach an unprecedented level. The report states: "With SpaceX going public, combined with the future exits of these companies, the value created will surpass the total exit value of all US VC-backed companies since 2000." The core factor lies in the extremely high valuation expectations of these three companies.SpaceX is currently valued at approximately $1.77 trillion, while Anthropic and OpenAI are also moving towards multi-trillion-dollar enterprise valuations. The market estimates that the combined valuation of the three companies could exceed $4 trillion. This scale far surpasses past large-scale tech IPOs. Data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that total US IPO fundraising last year was about $70 billion, whereas SpaceX's single-company valuation has already reached a level that traditional large-scale IPOs find hard to match. As a once-highly-watched tech IPO case, Uber was valued at around $84 billion when it went public in 2019, which is less than 5% of SpaceX's current valuation.However, the comparison by NVCA and PitchBook is based on "enterprise value created," not the actual cash-out amounts for investors. Additionally, the analysis does not include non-US companies like Alibaba. Furthermore, the value created by already-public companies such as Apple, Google Android, YouTube, and Instagram is not counted in the VC exit statistics.The report points out that over the past 25 years, the US tech market has seen several historic IPOs, including Google in 2004, Tesla in 2010, and Meta in 2012. These companies have since become some of the world's most valuable enterprises. Additionally, companies like LinkedIn, Slack, and WhatsApp were acquired for over $20 billion.The NVCA believes that the current IPO cycle driven by artificial intelligence (AI) could further break these records. The analysis suggests two main reasons driving this trend:First, tech companies are staying private for longer periods than in the past, accumulating higher valuations through prolonged financing and business expansion. If today's Google were in its early stages, it might also choose to go public later to achieve a higher market valuation.Second, the AI industry is highly capital-intensive. Training large AI models requires massive investment, pushing AI companies to continuously raise substantial funds and driving rapid valuation growth.Industry insiders believe that the potential scale of IPOs by SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI will test the capacity of the US capital market. As AI companies transition from the private financing stage to the public market, how trillions of dollars in tech assets flow into the stock market will become a focus for investors. (DigitalToday)

According to sources familiar with the matter, Tencent is in talks to become the largest shareholder of AI agent company Manus. Most existing investors, including Tencent, ZhenFund, and Sequoia Capital China, are discussing supporting a deal at a $2 billion valuation to block Meta's acquisition.
: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the company is considering renting out some of its AI computing power to external customers. He mentioned that some external offers are so high that Meta believes renting out computing power could be more valuable than keeping it for internal use.Zuckerberg emphasized that Meta does not have a surplus of AI computing power and that the company is still fully utilizing its existing computing resources. He noted that almost no company in the industry believes its own computing resources are sufficient.According to reports, Meta is exploring two types of cloud service models: one involves hosting proprietary or third-party AI models and charging based on API calls, while the other directly sells basic computing power, similar to the model of AI cloud computing company CoreWeave.Additionally, Meta has recently opened its Meta Model API and started charging for Muse Spark 1.1. Zuckerberg also said that SpaceX's model of temporarily renting out computing power to external companies is "very interesting," and Meta will also evaluate similar high-value transaction opportunities.

According to Reuters, Meta plans to mass-produce its self-developed data center AI chip "Iris" starting from September, as part of its fourth-generation Meta Training and Inference Accelerators project, to enhance the AI capabilities of platforms such as Facebook and Instagram and reduce reliance on external GPUs such as those from Nvidia and AMD. Internal memos show that Iris completed testing in just 6 weeks with no major defects; Meta plans to deploy 7 gigawatts of computing power this year and increase it to 14 gigawatts by 2027, with its AI infrastructure spending in 2024 potentially reaching up to $145 billion. To secure expansion, the company has signed long-term supply agreements with Samsung Electronics, Sandisk, and Sumitomo Electric to cope with "price increases" and shortages of memory and AI chips.

: Citrini analyst jukan posted on platform X, stating that some friends asked for his opinion on the Evercore channel survey. Evercore reported that several OEMs admitted they have simultaneously placed orders with both distributors and brokers for the same project due to extended lead times. Even if the three major DRAM manufacturers attempt to eliminate overbooking and duplicate orders, it cannot be completely prevented.He believes that extrapolating the situation occurring in a few isolated channels to the entire market is highly irrational. He also shared comments from Lynx on Meta's storage procurement on the same day: According to Lynx's survey, Meta is willing to purchase memory and flash storage from major suppliers at spot prices; unlike Apple, Lynx does not expect Meta to complain about high prices and anticipates that Meta has already factored in price increases in its capital expenditure plans.

According to TechFlow Research, the Morgan Stanley Weekly Report reinterprets the true meaning of the May SIA data. Meta's development of internal cloud services appears on the surface to be business competition with AWS/Azure, but in essence is a forced move driven by GPU shortage. When the enterprises with the strongest self-build capabilities in the market are all scrambling for capacity, the market is already in a state of extreme scarcity.
