MARKET OUTLOOK

The AI landscape is creating fresh anxiety for legacy software stocks as anticipation builds around dramatically improved next-generation models from both Anthropic and OpenAI. While there's likely some marketing theater in the "too powerful to release" messaging around Project Glasswing, these firms probably aren't bluffing about their upcoming capabilities. The disconnect between AI fears and actual economic activity remains stark — office leasing just hit its highest quarterly volume since 2018, suggesting the white-collar displacement narrative is still premature.

COMPANY NEWS

META: The company's Muse Spark model release provides modest relief after speculation it might not launch at all, but the technical capabilities are at best on par with existing products (company analysis). With frontier firms preparing to release vastly superior LLMs, Muse Spark doesn't meaningfully change Meta's competitive position in the AI race.

AMZN: CEO Andy Jassy's annual letter struck an extremely bullish tone on AI demand, particularly highlighting Amazon's opportunity in custom silicon and Trainium chips (company letter). The optimistic assessment underscores Amazon's positioning in the AI infrastructure buildout as companies seek alternatives to Nvidia's dominant offerings.
