Core Viewpoint - The potential legal action by Microsoft against OpenAI signifies a deeper conflict over power distribution in the AI industry, particularly regarding computing power, models, and distribution channels, indicating a shift in alliances that were once considered strong [1][3][4]. Group 1: Alliance Dynamics - Microsoft and OpenAI had established a robust alliance, with Microsoft investing over $13 billion for key rights, including model usage priority and exclusive cloud deployment [5][6]. - The essence of this structure was to strengthen Microsoft's cloud business against competitors like Amazon Web Services, positioning OpenAI as a magnet for enterprise cloud adoption [6][7]. - However, OpenAI's increasing independence and its recent partnership with Amazon, involving a $50 billion deal, directly challenge Microsoft's control over distribution channels [6][10]. Group 2: Structural Changes in AI Industry - The conflict highlights a structural contradiction in the AI industry, where model companies like OpenAI are gaining power, shifting from being cloud-dependent to becoming upstream players in the value chain [9][10]. - This shift indicates that models are becoming the primary focus for developers and enterprises, altering the traditional cloud service dynamics [9][10]. - The potential for models to operate independently of cloud infrastructure could undermine Microsoft's established model-cloud binding strategy, allowing competitors like Google and Amazon to regain market competitiveness [10]. Group 3: Implications for Investment - The ongoing conflict signals a need for the market to reassess key questions regarding pricing power, distribution control, and user access within the AI industry [13]. - If model companies gain dominance, their valuation could rise significantly, akin to historical operating system vendors, while cloud providers may revert to lower growth valuations [10][13]. - Investors should recognize that alliances in rapidly evolving tech sectors can quickly shift, and valuations should reflect a company's irreplaceability in the industry rather than current partnerships [13]. Group 4: The Nature of Competition - The potential lawsuit illustrates that competition in the AI era is not merely between companies but fundamentally about "position" within the value chain [15][16]. - The dynamics of alliances are fragile, as interests can diverge rapidly, leading to conflicts even among previously strong partners [11][12]. - The situation emphasizes the importance of diversifying ecosystem capabilities to navigate the complexities of technological revolutions [15][16].

Iran has retaliated, and the US President's attitude is uncertain. The conflict has caused a significant reduction in Middle Eastern oil exports [8][9]. - The Fed maintains the federal funds rate and has a more conservative interest - rate cut path.

Consider gradually going long on the bond market on the left side [16]. Black Commodities - **Steel**: Short - term long positions in steel should take profits at high prices, and the previous short - straddle strategy should be held. The supply pressure of steel is not large, but the high inventory of rolled steel suppresses prices [18][19]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The prices of coking coal and coke may be volatile and strong in the short term.

The previous short - straddle strategy can continue to be held [26]. - **Polysilicon**: It is in a weak shock. Temporarily wait and see. The high inventory and difficult de - stocking are the core contradictions [27]. Agricultural Products - **Cotton**: In the short term, it is affected by increased imports and external conflicts, and the price is weak. In the long term, the reduction of cotton supply is beneficial to the upward movement of the price center [29][30]. - **Sugar**: The sugar price has pressure to rebound. The global sugar supply situation is controversial, and the domestic sugar has seasonal production pressure [31][32][33]. - **Eggs**: The short - term spot price is strong, but the supply pressure is large, and the upward space is limited.
