OpenAI能否成功筹集大规模资金，正成为数据中心板块未来走向的关键变量。 12月19日华尔街见闻提及，OpenAI正计划在一轮新的融资中募集高达1000亿美元资金，这轮融资目前 处于早期阶段。如果OpenAI能顺利募集到全额目标资金，其公司估值可能高达8300亿美元。 CNBC的Jim Cramer周五建议，OpenAI应该"趁热打铁"，以万亿美元估值融资2000亿美元。他表示， 这笔资金将使公司能够支付甲骨文现在建设数据中心所需的资金。 如果实现这一目标，其他超大规模计算企业将不得不继续在基础设施上投入资金，数据中心股票才 能"起飞"。尽管人工智能股票周五反弹，纳指上涨1.31%，但该板块近几个月来一直承压。 这笔债券发行后，投资者对OpenAI的支付能力产生疑虑，数据中心板块因此承压。 周五Cramer对OpenAI筹集资金的能力相当乐观。但他接着指出这家公司"狂妄自大"，并暗示现在可能 是该公司"谦卑的时刻"，或者也可能"证明他们的傲慢是有道理的"。 Cramer提出，即使OpenAI分阶段融资，例如现在通过私募融资1000亿美元，明年再通过公开发行融资 1000亿美元，那么数据中心主题仍能保持活力。 ...

字节跳动今年前三季度净利润约400亿美元，超越年初设定的内部目标，盈利接近Meta，年营收有望增长超20%。此前报道称，一季度字节营收超430亿 美元，超越Meta成当季全球营收最高的社交媒体公司，二季度营收又增25%。 美东时间19日周五，媒体援引知情者的消息称，字节跳动今年前三季度已累计获得约400亿美元净利润，2025年全年的净利润有望达到约500亿美元， 创历史新高。字节的盈利已超越公司年初设定的内部目标，使其盈利水平接近美国社交媒体巨头Meta Platforms Inc.。Meta今年的预期利润约为600亿 美元。 营收方面，字节的增长同样强劲，今年据称有望增长超20%。以此前报道的字节跳动营收目标看，正逼近Meta今年约2000亿美元的预期营收水平。 字节跳动发言人未立即回应置评请求。 字节跳动旗下应用的月活跃用户数已超过40亿，与Meta的规模旗鼓相当。字节跳动的快速增长得益于在电商和新市场的大举扩张，尤其是TikTok在全 球范围内的迅速扩张以及在直播购物领域的激进推进。 8月有报道称，字节跳动第一季度营收超过430亿美元，使其成为当季全球营收最高的社交媒体公司，超越Meta同期的423亿美 ...

OpenAI 的十周岁生日，过得不太体面。 在当天发布的 GPT-5.2 交出了一份完美答卷：它横扫许多基准测试的 SOTA，在数学和编程等竞赛场景中的表现堪称亮眼，也被官方描述为 AI「超级大 脑」。 可到了社交网络，迎接它的不是掌声，而是用户的集体骂街。 在 X 和 Reddit 上，愤怒与失望几乎写在每一条评论里。人们又一次怀念起那个曾经的「白月光」GPT-4o：有人说 GPT-5.2 变得平淡、乏味、像被磨平了 棱角；也有人讥讽它成了「把成年人当幼儿园小孩对待」的说教。 当舆论的炮火对准 OpenAI 及其 CEO Sam Altman（山姆·奥特曼），一个尖锐的问题摆在面前：为什么模型更「聪明」了，用户反而更不爱了？ 更「聪明」的模型，为什么不讨喜了 The Information 今天凌晨的最新报道，扒出了内幕。 过去一年，OpenAI 内部曾奉行一条铁律：每一次模型的代际飞跃，都会伴随着用户量的爆发式增长，因为「变聪明」带来的体验升级是直观的。但现 在，这条铁律失效了。 当然，模型在智能与科研计算领域的提升依旧显著。研究团队耗费数月打磨推理能力，让它能攻克更复杂的数学与科学难题，但对于大多数普通 ...
