Meta购物智能体Muse下载量达1090万:亚马逊封杀,沃尔玛开放结账

Muse的首批商业化数据在周三的财报电话会议上出炉:自9月8日上线以来累计下载1090万次,购物是最常见的用途,平均客单价超过200美元。为扶持这款智能体,Meta上季度支出已超出自身现金流,而广告贡献的利润仍超过公司利润总额。

Meta+2.74% — Meta, up 2.74 percent today旗下购物智能体Muse周三交出首批商业化成绩单,而这些数字说明:人们愿意把买东西这件事交给软件。应用下载量追踪机构Sensor Tower统计,自9月8日上线以来,Muse的下载量已达1090万次,其中1020万来自美国;购物是最常见的用途,平均客单价超过200美元12。过去30天,OpenAI$1.18T — OpenAI, private, latest valuation $1.18T旗下ChatGPT在美国的下载量下滑25%12。

这组数字揭开了一场争夺:智能体替消费者下单之后,购物者留在谁手里。为了掌控整条购物漏斗,Meta的支出已经开始超出自身现金流3。

Muse只能在零售商放行的平台上购物

Muse下单的方式是浏览零售商网站,向购物者弹出一张确认卡片,再通过支付合作伙伴付款,例如Stripe旗下的Link,后者会生成一次性卡号;马克·扎克伯格在Meta Connect大会上表示,Meta会在每笔交易中收取小额费用4。“谁拥有智能体,谁就拥有与购物者的关系——每个零售商都清楚这一点。”研究AI购物的弗吉尼亚大学商学教授Luca Cian对CNBC表示4。

亚马逊筑墙,沃尔玛开门

亚马逊−0.57% — 亚马逊, down 0.57 percent today在Muse上线不到两周后便将其封杀,此前数月,该公司已在订单确认邮件中隐去商品名称,以阻挠智能体56。沃尔玛−0.06% — 沃尔玛, down 0.06 percent today则反其道而行,在10月21日、也就是Meta发布财报的当天,开放了“智能体网关”(Agent Gateway),购物者可借此设定智能体的支出上限、要求购买须经批准,或随时切断智能体6。GlobalData零售业分析师尼尔·桑德斯认为,亚马逊筑起的这道墙,是在保卫约680亿美元的广告业务——这门生意要靠用户浏览自家页面56。

广告利润已撑不起AI建设

广告几乎贡献了Meta的全部营收。用D.A. Davidson分析师吉尔·卢里亚(Gil Luria)的话说,广告带来的利润超过公司全部利润——因为AI投资和Reality Labs,即Meta旗下负责头显和硬件的部门,仍在亏损37。替用户购物的智能体永远看不到广告,这种自我蚕食效应,分析师早已反映在谷歌的估值里;谷歌与Meta合计拿走全球广告收入的一半以上8。

扎克伯格的答案是向智能体经手的每笔购买收“过路费”:他预计,一旦计算效率提升十倍,Muse每位用户创造的收入将超过现有应用每位美国用户带来的数百美元1。账单先到了。本季度,资本开支已超过业务自身产生的现金,自由现金流降至负21亿美元,而新设的无投票权C类股,正是为了继续给这场AI建设输血3。

仅16%的购物者愿意让AI替自己下单

Coveo发布的《2026年商业相关性报告》(Commerce Relevance Report)发现,只有16%的购物者放心让AI替自己挑选并购买商品;研究人员曝光约6800个对话链接后,Meta已于周二暂停Muse的聊天分享功能26。沃尔玛设置的支出上限与批准环节,瞄准的正是这道缺口。用Cian的话说,“掌控感会改变行为”:每一笔通过这些把关的购买,最终都落在沃尔玛自家的结账流程里46。

Meta正在自掏腰包,用购物“过路费”取代自家的广告阵地,而首批需求数据显示,购物者愿意做这笔交易13。美国银行+0.08% — 美国银行, up 0.08 percent today将谷歌−2.09% — 谷歌, down 2.09 percent today视为更具优势的第二入局者,谷歌将于下周发布财报;届时值得留意两点:一是搜索点击增速是否因AI使用而放缓,二是谷歌是否会推出自家的消费级智能体应战Muse8。

The same night it created non-voting Class C stock, approved by Mark Zuckerberg's own holding companies, with a doubling-linked dividend ladder that stands in for his pay.
