Sean Parker 将 Stability AI 转向音乐工具
Sean Parker is rebuilding Stability AI around music
Napster 联合创始人 Sean Parker 两年前参与 Stability AI 的 8000 万美元救助，如今与出任 CEO 的 Prem Akkaraju 一起把这家图像生成公司转向面向音乐专业人士的 AI 工具。8 月底公司宣布获得 7600 万美元融资，投资方包括 Sony、Warner 和 Universal，后者还授权曲库用于训练。Stability 随后发布三款新音频模型和 AI 音乐编辑软件，可根据文本提示生成整段器乐或短片段；Parker 称即将推出的更新将支持用户哼唱旋律或用口技打鼓点来引导生成。

Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder, has jumped back into the music industry, and he tells The Information that he’s playing by the rules this time. (Asking for forgiveness rather than permission didn’t work out so well last time around, he readily concedes.)
Two years ago, he joined an $80 million rescue of Stability AI, the image-generator startup that nearly collapsed after overspending and internal turmoil led to founder Emad Mostaque’s ouster. Now Parker and his longtime friend Prem Akkaraju, who became CEO, are taking the wraps off what they’ve been building.
The big idea, Parker says, is to turn Stability into the go-to AI toolmaker for music professionals. Toward that end, in late August, the company announced $76 million in funding from, among others, Sony, Warner, and Universal, which also licensed their catalogs for training as part of the deal. Stability has since released three new audio models and AI music-editing software. The AI can generate whole instrumental tracks or short snippets from text prompts. Parker says an upcoming update will let users hum a melody or beatbox a drum pattern to steer it.
