导读
Napster 联合创始人 Sean Parker 正把 Stability AI 重塑为音乐专业 AI 工具厂商，他与 CEO Prem Akkaraju 在 8 月底宣布获得索尼、华纳、环球等参投的 7600 万美元融资，三大唱片公司同时授权曲库用于训练。此后 Stability AI 发布了三款音频模型和 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 称后续更新将支持用户哼唱旋律或口技打鼓点来引导生成。
推荐理由
Stability AI 在两大唱片巨头授权下转向音乐专业工具，读者可借此观察生成式音频的版权合作路径。

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.
