生成式 AI 公司 Stability AI 宣布完成 7600 万美元 B 轮融资,累计融资额升至 2.32 亿美元。与一般财务投资不同,这轮资金的参投方多来自内容与发行领域,显示公司正把融资与商业合作进一步绑定。

参投方集中在内容产业

公司表示,本轮资金部分来自环球音乐集团、索尼音乐集团、华纳音乐集团,以及游戏公司艺电(EA)。AMD Ventures 和 Pacific Alliance Ventures 也参与了本轮投资。

这份投资人名单较为少见。TechCrunch指出,这更像是围绕内容授权和分发合作形成的资本支持,而不只是传统风险投资。

过去一年推进娱乐行业合作

Stability AI 成立于 2019 年,旗下产品包括图像生成模型 Stable Diffusion。过去一年,公司持续推动生成式 AI 进入娱乐公司的创作流程。

去年 10 月,Stability AI 与环球音乐和 EA 达成合作;去年 11 月,又与华纳音乐签署合作。报道提到,这些合作不只是采购或授权生成结果,相关公司还会参与其 AI 工具的联合开发。

版权诉讼仍是外界关注点

除融资外,公司的版权纠纷进展也受到关注。此前,Getty Images 在英国起诉 Stability AI,指控后者在训练图像生成模型时使用其图片并侵犯知识产权。法院在该案中大体支持 Stability AI 的立场。

不过,Getty Images 在美国提起的类似诉讼仍在审理中。另据报道,Stability AI 还在 2023 年遭联合创始人 Cyrus Hodes 起诉,后者称自己曾被另一位联合创始人 Emad Mostaque 误导,出售了所持公司股份。

现任 CEO Prem Akkaraju 于 2024 年加入公司。他表示,这轮融资体现了投资方对公司方向的支持,即让生成式 AI 服务于制作人、音乐人和内容创作者。
