Peter Nolan, head of asset and wealth management at Anthropic, wrote in a LinkedIn post that the plug-ins are “building blocks” that enterprise and independent firms can use to develop their own AI tools. They’re also customized to the firms ...

软件厂商看起来正持续遭遇来自AI的冲击。 这率先体现在二级市场层面。根据Wind统计，今年以来至2月25日收盘，以Salesforce、Adobe为代表的 美股软件巨头就遭遇了超25%的跌幅，2025年以来两家公司整体跌幅约为42%。 一时间，华尔街诞生了一个新词："SaaSpocalypse"（SaaS末日）。这背后源于大模型公司Anthropic旗 下Claude系列产品持续更新，随着能力边界拓维，传统视角来看，软件服务商积累的研发和服务护城河 似乎在加速被减弱。 面对本轮AI技术革新，软件厂商们本身也在加速拥抱Agent（智能体）等新技术能力。除了加深与基础 大模型的能力融合并迭代垂域模型之外，投融资层面的合作也在发生。 这一次，"SaaS末日"会成真吗？ "末日"将至？ 今年以来，全球大模型厂商都在加速迭代模型，其中擅长编程能力的Anthropic陆续推出多款产品，被 认为是引发此次"SaaS末日"论的主角。 1月末，Anthropic发布Claude Cowork生产力工具的11款行业插件，覆盖法律、金融、销售等领域，被认 为传统软件"按席位收费"的模式将被瓦解，引发全球软件公司股价震动；2月，其再 ...

这一轮软件股暴跌以及各板块轮流上演暴跌的核心因素可谓是"AI颠覆一切"这一悲观论调。而"AI颠覆一切"论调自2 月以来可谓席卷全球金融市场，这种论调强势崛起的时点在于Anthropic重磅推出的一系列AI工具/代理式AI智能体协 作平台，引发全球股市SaaS订阅软件板块以及股票市场广义上的软件板块广泛抛售大浪潮。受这一严峻担忧情绪影 响，标普500软件与服务指数自1月下旬以来下跌约15%，并在短短一周内抹去接近1万亿美元市值。 震动始于本月早些时候，当时Anthropic为其Claude Cowork这一迅速风靡全球的代理式AI智能体发布了一款重磅法律 插件。这款能够极低技术门槛实现AI全自动化的合同审查超级工具，令汤森路透(Thomson Reuters)以及LexisNexis母 公司RELX等公司的市值蒸发了数十亿美元。 2月以来的"AI颠覆一切"悲观基调主要因市场愈发担心类似Claude以及OpenClaw(曾用名：Clawdbot、Moltbot)爆火且 病毒式蔓延的AI代理工作流可能削弱基于SaaS席位订阅营收模式的整个软件帝国，遭遇了罕见抛售，这一抛售迅速蔓 延到保险、房地产、卡车运输以及其他任 ...

针对市场关注的美图是否会被大模型取代，报告分析认为，工具类软件可分为流程优化类和决策支持类，前者的价值更多 在于辅助工作流中各环节的实现，后者的价值更多在于辅助用户创作及决策的表达。大模型厂商推出的AI Agent，更多与前者 形成直接竞争，更容易取代的是聚焦单一环节的工具软件。而美图产品服务于用户主观审美，属于决策支持类软件，以服务用 户主观判断为核心，其通过对AI能力的整合可进一步提升其功能效果。 此外，从用户需求角度来看，美图现有客户群体天然不是类"AI一键修图"产品的受众，公司稳定付费用户的核心需求为创 作具有主观审美表达的照片，其核心竞争力在于提供了审美表达创作平台。这一结论亦有数据作为佐证，一方面，智能手机自 带修图功能逐渐丰富乃至融入AI功能，美图生活场景的MAU自2021年以来依然维持上升趋势；另一方面，美图产品也提供免 费美颜功能，但付费用户数仍持续提升，说明用户愿意为更具个性化的主观审美表达工具付费。 本报讯 （记者李豪悦）近期，美国大模型公司Anthropic推出的AI工具，引发市场对于软件行业叙事由"被AI赋能"到"被AI 吞噬"的担忧，进一步波及Adobe、美图等AI应用公司。浙商证 ...

"代码转换是一回事，平台现代化则完全是另一码事。" 但在Rob Thomas看来，IBM大型机的真正价值其实与COBOL语言本身无关，而在于平台自身的特性： 它是一个从底层芯片到操作系统都经过专门打造的架构，无论承载的应用是用COBOL、Java还是其他 语言，该平台都能提供同样的保障。而现代化的挑战并非COBOL这门语言的问题，它关乎的是支撑应 用运行、实现系统集成所需的一切。 "仅仅转换COBOL语言，丝毫改变不了这些根本。"他强调，"真正艰巨的工作在于数据架构的重构、运 行时环境的替代、事务处理完整性的保障，以及平台自身所承载的所有非功能性需求，这是一项系统级 的工程。 为了形象地说明这一点，Rob Thomas用了一个比喻："就像iOS和iPhone——你或许能做出一个功能相似 的替代系统，但它几乎不可能取代那十亿部正在使用的iPhone。真正卓越的性能，源自于软硬件的紧密 结合、处理器级的专属加速、I/O子系统的精巧优化，以及数十载持续不断的性能调校。" Anthropic砸崩IBM股价后，IBM回击。 在IBM股价遭遇25年来最惨烈单日暴跌的三天后，该公司高级副总裁、软件主管兼首席商务官Rob T ...
