Meta's Muse AI Agent Could Threaten Apple's App Store Revenue

Analysts at Needham and Bank of America warn that Meta's new consumer AI agent, Muse, could disrupt Apple's App Store revenue through AI 'disintermediation'.

Meta reported receiving over 1,500 developer applications within 168 hours of launching Muse Connectors, potentially siphoning developers from Apple. Bank of America's Tal Liani notes that AI agents auditing subscriptions could increase churn for businesses as consumers cancel low-engagement services.

Benchmark Leads Funding in Chip Startup Tendrils Compute

Benchmark has won a competitive process to lead a new funding round for Tendrils Compute, an early-stage chip startup based in Cambridge, UK, according to sources. The company is already discussing a fast follow-up raise that could value it at over $1 billion. Tendrils is developing general-purpose chips based on interaction nets, an obscure graph-based computing model, aiming to address CPU bottlenecks in AI agent workloads. The deal reflects a broader resurgence in chip investments, with other startups like Etched, Fractile, OLIX, Euclyd, Delos Data, and Volantis Semiconductors raising significant capital.
