Meta is an American multinational technology conglomerate. It owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, among other products and services.
Odaily reports: "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X platform, stating that in their view, the probability of Anthropic and OpenAI genuinely slowing down frontier AI development is "essentially zero," and that some regulatory measures pushed by leading AI companies are more likely aimed at raising competitive barriers to restrict the development of competitors.They stated that OpenAI and Anthropic will not voluntarily cede their lead to competitors like Gemini, xAI, and Meta, and that given all countries are continuously advancing AI technology development, it would be very difficult for the United States to meaningfully slow down frontier AI R&D. Currently, all parties are still competing for scarce resources such as storage and AI chips. They believe that demand for AI-related infrastructure will remain strong, and rebutted the view that AI-related stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA), TSMC (TSM), and Micron (MU) will experience significant declines as a result.Previously, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a long article stating that the AI industry must slow down the pace of improving model capabilities, but this does not mean stopping model training or technological progress — rather, it means ensuring companies have enough time for model alignment and safety safeguards. OpenAI founder Sam Altman expressed agreement, saying "we need to control the progress of frontier models," and stated that OpenAI will also consider giving independent evaluators access similar to that of employees.

Odaily reports: Well-known tech investor Jason posted on X: "AI stocks will drop more than 10% in early trading on Monday," adding that Amodei's blog post "single-handedly dismantled the AI trade."Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei previously published a blog post with a title that directly stated: "We Must Pace the Frontier." Within hours of the article's publication, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted on X, saying "Dario is right."Early market indicators show that following the "AI slowdown" news, related assets on the HyperliquidX platform fell in response, with OpenAI and Anthropic dropping 7% and 2.8% respectively. Multiple market observers and investors have issued warnings on social media, concerned that the news will cause a significant impact on AI-related stocks such as Nvidia, Broadcom, and AMD on Monday.Executives at Google DeepMind and Meta have not yet publicly commented on this weekend's discussions. Divisions within the industry also cannot be overlooked. Critics argue that leading AI companies have self-interested motives in emphasizing existential risks—expensive safety and compliance frameworks could shut out smaller competitors, thereby consolidating the market position of existing giants.

According to TechFlow, JPMorgan’s September 10, 2026 research report upgraded Meta’s rating from “Neutral” to “Overweight” and raised its price target from $640 to $820. Based on the September 9 closing price of $653.69, this implies an upside potential of approximately 25%. The Muse AI agent ranked third on the US App Store on its second day, with early usage volume 10 times that of the test cohort. JPMorgan projects capital expenditure of $243 billion in 2027, up 70% year over year, and $284 billion in 2028.

Odaily News: The U.S. Senate announced that a Republican-led subcommittee has formally launched an investigation into OpenAI regarding its response to the July Hugging Face intrusion incident.It is reported that subcommittee chairman and Republican Senator Josh Hawley stated in a letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on September 9 that OpenAI "redacted many important details" and continued testing after detecting anomalous AI behavior, calling the practice "reckless," and demanded that relevant responses and documents be submitted by October 1. In addition, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal also wrote to Sam Altman, requesting an explanation regarding reports that OpenAI's agents more broadly circumvented safeguards. The investigation stems from OpenAI's disclosure that its internally tested models bypassed isolation controls and intruded into some of Hugging Face's systems, after which Anthropic and Meta also reported similar AI agent intrusion incidents.

long.xyz co-founder Nate posted on X platform stating that in the coming days, long.xyz will focus on building distribution channels that do not depend on public chains, crypto markets, or Meta cycles, and reiterated his view that Stock Pairs will become the "final Meta" of the crypto market.Nate stated that the market still underestimates the potential of the stock market in terms of narrative, distribution channels, and capital scale. The leading trading pairs on long.xyz have already begun to form their own independent narratives and distribution channels. Once they no longer rely solely on Crypto Twitter (CT), the scale could expand 1000x and become more PVE.He also stated that long.xyz will not frequently pivot its product direction due to emerging trends like AI Agents and Cat Memes, and will continue to focus on stock-related trading pairs, avoiding the Launchpad's constant rotation with different market Metas.

Meta published the paper CORAL, proposing an LLM-native agent harness for closed-loop optimization of production-grade recommendation systems. Through closed-loop observation of runtime signals, retrieval of past decision memories, and invocation of tools such as numerical optimizers, the system continuously reconfigures online recommendation strategies within a fixed change budget. The paper demonstrates that the strategy progressively improves across iterative cycles without requiring parameter updates.

According to Chaoxiang Research, a Bernstein report dated August 31, 2026, notes that Meta is poised to surpass Google Search for the first time in Q4 2026, becoming the world’s largest single ad platform. By mid-2024, market expectations for 2026 Google Search ad revenue growth were just 8%, but have since been revised upward to 16%, while Meta’s have increased from 12% to 26%. Year-over-year growth for the digital advertising basket in H1 2026 hit 21%, far exceeding the 6% recorded in 2022. AI is driving simultaneous growth in both ad pricing and impression volumes, a rare combination achieved by both Meta and Google Search. Yet, digital advertising equities have underperformed across the board this year, whereas e-commerce stocks have significantly outperformed. E-commerce firms have reaped the same AI-driven advertising tailwinds but at a fraction of the cost, sidestepping the massive AI capital expenditure burden and associated valuation discounts. Bernstein has assigned an Overweight rating to Meta, Pinterest, and Amazon, with respective target prices of $800, $28, and $320. Key risks include whether AI investments can sustain growth momentum and potential deceleration in the advertising market.

Odaily News: Two sources familiar with the matter revealed that Meta internally projected earlier this year that it could spend up to $10 billion annually on Anthropic's AI models. This funding would account for a significant portion of Anthropic's annual revenue, which the company estimated in July to exceed $65 billion. (The New York Times)
Odaily News: SemiAnalysis posted on X that AMD middle managers are spending the time of more than 20 engineers trying to expand their sphere of influence and secure promotions through a useless side project called the "ATOM Inference Engine," rather than allocating those resources to inference engines actually being used by real customers like Meta and xAI, such as SGLang and vLLM.SemiAnalysis said that dozens of AMD engineers, including principal engineers and AMD Fellows, have privately contacted the firm, stating that due to internal office politics at AMD and support from some middle managers, they are unable to discuss their concerns internally. Middle managers are consuming the time of more than 20 full-time engineers to develop this side project with almost no customers, and the engineers involved are all "10x engineers" who should have been dedicated to developing customer-facing inference engines like vLLM and SGLang.SemiAnalysis said that middle managers will likely respond by pointing to the only customer using the project in a production environment—Alibaba, based on Qwen—but further investigation shows that this is merely a limited deployment of ATOM by Alibaba's enterprise business unit, not the main business unit behind Qwen.SemiAnalysis stated that AMD management has diverted resources and limited internal GPU R&D clusters away from engineers supporting production-grade inference engines such as vLLM and SGLang, instead using them to expand their own influence and engage in office politics, showing a profound lack of respect for AMD engineers.

According to Chaoxiang Research, a Morgan Stanley report dated August 25 noted that the internet sector declined by an average of 2% last week, with Meta down approximately 7%, Amazon down roughly 2%, and Google virtually flat. Current forward P/E ratios for 2026 stand at 19x for Amazon, 17x for Google, and 17x for Meta, reflecting discounts of 36%, a premium of 36%, and a discount of 24% relative to historical averages, respectively. On an EV/EBITDA basis, Amazon at 11.2x represents a 12% discount to its two-year average, Google at 15.1x implies an 8% premium, and Meta at 8.7x reflects a 30% discount. Morgan Stanley maintains an "Attractive" rating on the internet sector, highlighting that AI capabilities are emerging as a core variable driving valuation divergence. The sector's overall forward EV/EBITDA is 9% below the five-year average, while EV/Sales is 16% above it, underscoring a divergence between revenue and profit multiples. After reclassifying stock-based compensation as a cash expense, the adjusted EV/EBITDA for digital media rises by approximately 36% on average, e-commerce by 30%, and travel and the sharing economy by 44%. Upcoming catalysts include the launch of Google's Gemini 4, stabilization of Amazon Web Services (AWS) growth, progress in Meta's AI ad monetization, and shifts in the interest rate environment.

According to Chaoxiang Research, a Morgan Stanley report dated August 24 indicates that the total disclosed off-balance-sheet commitments from hyperscalers, NVIDIA, and Broadcom have surpassed $3.1 trillion. Lease commitments total $1.1 trillion and procurement commitments $1.7 trillion, while the combined on-balance-sheet debt and lease liabilities of hyperscalers reach $770 billion. Amazon and Google's free cash flow turned negative in Q2 2026, with Meta expected to follow suit next quarter. Financing instruments are restructuring the AI compute capital structure across six dimensions: off-balance-sheet lease and procurement commitments form the first financing layer; the share of debt issuance rises from 2% in 2025 to 19% in 2026; Google frees up $110 billion by reducing share buybacks and issuing equity; Oracle records $4.6 billion in customer advance payments in Q2; and Broadcom and NVIDIA launch chip-leasing SPVs to support unrated AI labs. Morgan Stanley notes that when the financing structure itself becomes a core variable in the AI supply chain, tracking changes in off-balance-sheet commitments and accounting judgments is nearing the importance of tracking chip shipments themselves.
