亚马逊封禁Muse，却向Claude交出店铺钥匙
亚马逊在周日晚间封禁Meta的Muse,随后一周接连向卖家提供免费工具，让他们用亚马逊自家软件打理沃尔玛、eBay、Shopify和TikTok上的生意。真正的分界线不在AI,而在于谁站在消费者与单季198亿美元的广告收入之间。

周日夜里，Muse撞上了亚马逊的墙
2026年9月20日晚，亚马逊开始封禁Meta旗下上线仅两周的购物智能体Muse2。用户若尝试通过它下单，页面会提示，称“未经授权的AI智能体”违反了网站条款1。亚马逊称，Meta事先从未告知Muse会进入商店浏览，该智能体不表明身份，似乎还会截取客户账号凭证；Meta则回应，密码和支付方式存放在模型无法读取的存储区1。被封禁之前，Muse已超越ChatGPT,登顶美国区iPhone免费应用榜,此时距其9月8日上线仅过去十天2。
智能体代填的购物车，绕开的正是“过路费”
这堵墙，正立在亚马逊收取“过路费”的地方。第二季度，广告业务进账198亿美元，同比增长26%34,去年全年则超过680亿美元1。7月30日的财报电话会上，首席执行官安迪·贾西表示，点击赞助提示(sponsored prompt)的消费者，购买转化率比不点击的高48%,平均消费额也多21%56。
由Muse代填的购物车，多半不会出现赞助提示。亚马逊没有说过封禁是为了保护广告业务，但它这一周接下来的动作，都指向这一点。
亚马逊转而打开的门
9月23日，亚马逊在Accelerate卖家大会上发布一款插件，让卖家在Anthropic的Claude里管理库存、定价和商品上架;亚马逊是Anthropic的主要投资方3。一天后，亚马逊向来自沃尔玛、eBay、Shopify和TikTok的订单开放卖家中心(Seller Central)7,把Prime配送延伸到商户自家网站且不额外收费，并将履约费下调15%至25%,为期六个月8。独立卖家占亚马逊售出商品件数的60%以上3。界限由此浮现：外部智能体可以运营亚马逊的店铺，却不能往亚马逊的购物车里装货。
亚马逊如何为自家这扇门辩护
官方的说法是，这条界线关乎授权，而非AI。亚马逊发言人表示，代消费者下单的智能体“应当公开运作，并尊重服务提供方关于是否参与的决定”，就像外卖应用只从同意接入的餐厅那里接单1。亚马逊自家的“代我购买”(Buy for Me)智能体同样会去其他零售商处购物，但会亮明身份，并允许对方选择退出1；谷歌和OpenAI的智能体，也撞上了和Muse同一堵墙9。在客户凭据问题上，双方或许各有道理，但这堵墙终究横在了购物者与赞助提示(sponsored prompt)之间。
首份成绩单10月底见分晓
Shopify走了另一扇门，也拿到了真金白银：首席执行官托比·吕特克表示，公司正“与Muse深度合作，让所有Shopify店铺都能通过Shop Pay实现智能体结账(agentic checkout)”；按总裁哈利·芬克尔斯坦的说法，智能体订单“与线上店铺交易的经济收益完全相同”2。Shopify股价两天内上涨约15%2。亚马逊守护的，正是为一轮大规模扩建输血的机器——如今扩建的烧钱速度已经跑到现金流前面：第二季度资本开支531亿美元，经营现金流为454亿美元10。

Prime Big Deal Days大促将于10月6日至7日举行11。10月下旬发布的财报，将首次检验广告业务能否延续约26%的增速6。亚马逊上季度向卖家收取的费用达468亿美元，已超过AWS；围绕这笔费用的美国联邦贸易委员会(FTC)诉讼，将于2027年3月开庭3。
