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。

Solana Mainnet enables 4096-byte transactions: More space, but also brings upgrade pressure on indexers
Solana will enable v1 transaction-related functions on the mainnet Epoch on September 15th at 01:20 UTC. The maximum size of a single transaction will be increased from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes, which is approximately 3.3 times the original size. The official upgrade page indicates that the activation is expected to occur at this time, and the mainnet status will be marked as activated. The new format provides more space for zero-knowledge proofs, large multi-signatures, batch processing, and some on-chain signature schemes, reducing the need for developers to split a single operation into multiple transactions. The existing legacy and v0 transactions will continue to function, so this is not a hard fork that requires all wallets and applications to switch immediately.

Final Launches Shannon Development Network: An "Adaptive Blockchain" Begins with Restricted Testing
The new public chain Final announced on September 15th that its first major version, Shannon, is already running on the development network. The project positions itself as an “adaptive blockchain network” and showcases a structure composed of a main chain and a transaction chain, with plans to provide core facilities such as derivatives, spot trading, and stablecoins at the protocol layer. What needs to be clarified at this point is that what has been launched is Devnet, not the mature mainnet intended for everyone. The official website states that Shannon will be open to the public “in the near future,” and the current page still provides an application access link; functions such as wallets, bridges, and documentation are also marked as upcoming.

Canadian wholesale sales rose slightly by 0.3% in July: Building materials saw strength, but actual sales decreased by 0.6%
On September 15, Statistics Canada announced that in July 2026, wholesale sales increased by 0.3% month-on-month at current prices, reaching C$91.4 billion. This figure does not include oil, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons, nor does it include oilseeds and grains. On the surface, there was little change in sales amounts, with growth even observed in the building materials and food sectors; however, when calculated at constant prices, total sales volume decreased by 0.6%. The increase in nominal amounts while the actual quantity decreased indicates that price factors supported the data for that month, and it also serves as a reminder to the market that one positive growth figure alone should not be used to conclude that demand has strengthened.
