EyeEm Mobile GmbH The ongoing oil crisis will be prolonged significantly, with production restarts in the Gulf region likely taking months rather than weeks, John Kilduff, Again Capital’s founding partner, warned. In an interview with CNBC, Kilduff explained that if widespread shutdowns occur, the global energy market faces an extended period of unaffordable prices, with the major oil-producing region of the world effectively cut off from supply chains. Storage capacity has emerged as a critical concern, with JPMorgan indicating that Gulf producers could exhaust their storage and be forced into complete shutdowns if the current situation extends beyond three weeks. “These producers, they’re not built for producing oil and storing it. They’re built for pumping it, loading it out to ships, getting it out of there,” Kilduff said. “They’re almost like sharks. If they stop moving, they won’t be able to keep going.” The analyst expressed concern about the viability of emergency measures to address the crisis. While releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve have worked during normal disruptions, such as the Iraq conflicts and the Russia-Ukraine war, the current situation presents unique challenges. Kilduff noted that with a potential 20 million barrels per day of disruption, the SPR oil may be needed to cover outright shortages rather than simply easing prices. “We are talking about the major oil-producing region of the world being shut in here, and there’s just not enough chestnuts in the storage bin to get us through,” Kilduff cautioned. He emphasized that this crisis differs fundamentally from isolated incidents like storm damage, making traditional relief measures insufficient. The International Energy Agency has floated plans to release barrels to ease market pressure, but Kilduff suggested the math simply doesn’t work given the scale of the potential disruption. The rush to deploy emergency reserves is concerning, he said, as these resources may ultimately be nee...

Oracle (ORCL) shares jumped 11% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the company delivered stronger than expected results and pushed back against fears of a looming “SaaS apocalypse,” easing investor concerns about both AI disruption and its recent debt raise. Revenue climbed 18% to $17.19 billion, beating the $16.92 billion analysts, according to Wall Street Journal. Cloud revenue rose 41%, while cloud infrastructure sales increased by 81%, highlighting strong demand tied to artificial intelligence. Management used the earnings call to directly address concerns that generative AI could undermine traditional software vendors. Executives argued the opposite, saying customers want AI embedded directly into mission critical systems rather than replacing them with standalone tools. The results also helped calm worries about Oracle’s balance sheet after the company said it planned to raise up to $50 billion in debt and equity to fund AI infrastructure. Oracle said $30 billion has already been raised through investment-grade bonds and mandatory convertible preferred stock, with demand heavily oversubscribed. Oracle’s gains also lifted the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) about 1% in premarket trading, where Oracle is the fourth-largest holding. The move contrasted with bitcoin, which is down roughly 0.5% ahead of U.S. CPI data, suggesting the tight correlation between software stocks and bitcoin may be easing. Earlier this year the two had moved closely together. IGV fell about 34% from its October high, a decline that coincided with bitcoin’s roughly 50% correction as both software stocks and crypto sold off in tandem.

据知情人士透露,OpenAI 计划近期在 ChatGPT 中上线其 Sora AI 视频生成功能。这一战略调整可能会提升这款聊天机器人的使用量,但同时也会增加运营成本。 此次调整距 OpenAI 推出 Sora 独立手机应用约五个月。该应用允许用户快速生成自己、他人或动物做出奇幻或搞笑动作的视频,界面风格模仿 TikTok,但并未获得广泛欢迎。 将 Sora 与 ChatGPT 整合,有望帮助公司提高周活跃用户数 —— 目前已达到约 9.2 亿,但尚未达到公司去年设定的 10 亿目标。面对 谷歌 等竞争对手日益加剧的竞争,OpenAI 已为这款聊天机器人投入更多资源。谷歌的 Gemini 应用已搭载其 Veo AI,提供视频生成功能。 OpenAI 近期还在其他产品上快速调整方向。就在宣布在 ChatGPT 内直接开通购物功能六个月后,该公司又取消了这一计划。 据一位知情人士称,OpenAI 将继续运营 Sora 独立应用,但尚不清楚这是否为长期规划。Sora 应用上线初期表现亮眼,曾迅速登顶 苹果 应用商店榜首,但不久后使用量开始下滑,目前在应用商店排名仅为第 165 位。 去年秋天,OpenAI 首席执行官山姆・奥特曼曾对员工表示,只有很小比例的 Sora 用户会在应用内公开发布自己的视频。 通过在 ChatGPT 中加入便捷的视频生成功能,OpenAI 希望重现去年 3 月聊天机器人的爆红时刻 —— 当时用户争相生成吉卜力工作室风格的个人照片,一度让公司的算力资源达到极限。(此后,该聊天机器人已成为面向个人及企业客户(包括家居、服装设计师)的主流 AI 图像生成工具。) OpenAI 预计,从现在到 2030 年,其推理成本(即运行 ChatGPT 及其他产品 AI 模型的成本)将超过 2250 亿美元。公司预计需要足够的算力容量,以应对爆款功能可能带来的使用量激增。 OpenAI 于 2024 年 2 月首次预览视频生成模型 Sora,并于同年 12 月在独立网站上更大范围开放测试。去年 9 月,公司发布了该 AI 的升级版及配套应用,用户可在滚动式社交信息流中创作并分享 AI 生成视频。 责任编辑:郭明煜
