数据分析平台公司Databricks今日宣布，已完成超过70亿美元的股权和债务融资，用于加速其增长计 划。 该公司去年底首次披露这笔投资时，融资条款仍在最终确定中。当时，Databricks表示正在筹集超过40 亿美元的股权资金。目前股权融资部分已增长至超过50亿美元。 融资规模增加的原因是摩根大通作为四家主要投资方之一增加了投资额。此外，微软公司和几家大型金 融机构也加入了此轮融资。Databricks表示，此次交易还包括20亿美元债务融资，由摩根大通、巴克莱 银行、花旗银行、高盛和摩根士丹利牵头。 该公司将使用这些资金来增强其Genie和Lakebase产品。这两款产品都是Databricks人工智能战略的重要 组成部分。 Genie是一款AI助手，使员工能够使用自然语言提示查询Databricks平台中的数据。例如，供应链分析师 可以询问该工具显示各仓库之间商品处理时间的差异。同时，开发者可以通过应用程序编程接口将 Genie集成到外部服务中。 A：Genie是一款AI助手，使员工能够使用自然语言提示查询Databricks平台中的数据。例如供应链分析 师可以询问各仓库商品处理时间的差异。开发者还可以通 ...

Roblox (RBLX) is hitting a growth spurt, and the company is looking to take its game into the adult world. "We've found that our age-checked 18-and-up segment is growing at over 50% year on year, which is a real great signal for future growth," Roblox CEO David Baszucki told Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid. For years, Roblox has been the digital playground where kids spent weekends — and their parents' money. But the company's latest earnings report suggests that a demographic shift is underway.

据S3数据显示，今年以来，微软的空头头寸飙升了20%，甲骨文则增加了10%。博通和亚马逊的空头头 寸也有所增长。 这标志着空头在当前下跌阶段的典型操作发生了转变，尤其是在微软的股票上。 "从历史上看，这家软件巨头'表现得像一只反转股，空头会在下跌途中回补'，"格罗斯说，"但现在，它 的交易方式却像一只受动量驱动、陷入困境的股票，空头正趁其疲弱加大做空力度。" 近日，一场席卷华尔街的软件股暴跌风暴正在上演，本周，当Anthropic PBC发布一款新的生产力工 具，引发软件、金融服务甚至资产管理类股票普遍下跌，并拖累整体大盘后，这种担忧变得尤为突出。 做空者在这场浪潮中赚得"盆满钵满"，与此同时，也有市场分析师认为，当前恐慌实属过度。 本周，以Claude聊天机器人闻名的Anthropic公司低调宣布，其Cowork功能将推出一款能"加速合同审 阅、NDA筛查及内部法务团队合规流程"的插件时，华尔街的反应极为剧烈，引发一场3000亿美元的股 市血洗。 今年以来，对人工智能技术进步将颠覆传统软件商业模式的担忧，已导致软件及AI相关公司股价整体 下挫20%。对于押注该板块下跌的投资者而言，这却是一场"盛宴"。据S3 ...

为什么Genie这次"炸"了？ 上周五，海豚君覆盖的三家与游戏行业息息相关的公司Unity、Applovin以及Roblox，股价均惨遭暴跌血洗，主要说法是当天谷歌新发布的世界模型Genie 对游戏行业的颠覆性影响导致。 海豚君认为，我们不否认Genie在未来通过一轮一轮的升级给游戏行业带来的变化，但放在当下，无论是从"可玩性"和"经济性"而言，都离颠覆还早。而 当天的Unity和Applovin，之所以有20%左右的暴跌，其实还有别的帮 凶 。 那么现在的问题是，这三家公司被错杀了吗？在即将到来的财报日上，它们是否具备强硬的基本面抵御"AI叙事"的负面压力？海豚君来详细聊一聊。 以下是详细分析 01 当下的Genie是一种颠覆性的互补 先说结论，Genie世界模型毫无疑问是一种颠覆性技术，长期来看将对多个行业产生深远影响。但从实操性和经济性两个角度而言，短期下Genie更适合结 合传统引擎叠加来进行开发，这样可以在保持原有产品精细度和稳定性的情况下，减少部分成本较高的人力支出： 世界模型可以激发更多的非专业人士参与到游戏创作中来，Genie完成门槛级的部分工作（如概念原型的预研、基础非重要场景的渲染、物理模 ...

我们怎么看？ 核心结论： ❶Genie不会"颠覆"游戏行业，反而利好那些玩法创新力强、用户需求洞察深刻，但是制作能力普通甚至落后的， 中小型CP。 我们怎么看Genie对游戏的影响？ 周五晚美股部分游戏股下跌，包括Unity（-24%）这类引擎公司，Roblox（-13%）这类游戏UGC平台，也包括游戏 CP，比如Taketwo（-7.9%）。 核心结论： ❶Genie不会"颠覆"游戏行业，反而利好那些玩法创新力强、用户需求洞察深刻，但是制作能力普通甚至落后的， 中小型CP。 制作真正"好玩"的游戏，需要的能力十分多维（不仅仅是Genie一键生成地图环境、角色的能力）。 ❷可能创建一个新的UGC内容分发平台，游戏版Tiktok，激发普通用户"创建世界"的能力。 ❸目前还难以替代成熟引擎的建模能力，Genie的底层不是建模3D，仍是不可预测性较高的视频生成。 1，根据我们的体验，目前Genie仅供Gemini的Ultra会员体验，提供的核心体验，是【一键生成一个"世界"和角色， 并在这个世界中游走、漫步】，目前限于60s之内，用户也可以【直接去别人生成好的世界闲逛】。 我们怎么看Genie对游戏的影响？ 周五晚 ...
