可用说法

• 2026 年 10 月 29 日（星期四），Deepgram 宣布收购开源语音代理框架 Pipecat 背后的公司 Daily——按 Deepgram 的帖子，公司「today announced that it is acquiring Daily, creators of Pipecat, the world's most popular open-source voice agent framework」（今日宣布收购 Pipecat 的缔造者 Daily——全球最受欢迎的开源语音代理框架），且「The Pipecat framework will remain fully open source and free to all developers under its existing BSD V2 license.」（Pipecat 框架将按现有 BSD V2 许可保持完全开源、对所有开发者免费。）按 Daily 联合创始人 Kwindla Hultman Kramer 同日的帖子：「For Daily's customers and the Pipecat ecosystem, nothing will change.」（对 Daily 的客户和 Pipecat 生态来说，什么都不会变。）、「Deepgram will sell, support, and develop all of Daily's current products and services. And Pipecat will remain open source and vendor neutral.」（Deepgram 将销售、支持并开发 Daily 当前的全部产品与服务。Pipecat 将保持开源与厂商中立。），以及「We are establishing an independent Pipecat Foundation. The foundation will be managed by a steering committee that represents the entire realtime AI ecosystem, including companies that compete with Deepgram.」（我们正在设立一个独立的 Pipecat Foundation。基金会将由一个代表整个实时 AI 生态的指导委员会管理，其中包括与 Deepgram 竞争的公司。）——其中「Today, Pipecat has more than 200 integrations and almost 400 contributors.」（如今 Pipecat 有 200 多个集成和将近 400 名贡献者。）是 Daily 自己的生态统计，且「Deepgram is adopting Pipecat as the core of the company's new voice AI products and services.」（Deepgram 正把 Pipecat 采纳为公司新语音 AI 产品与服务的核心。）Kramer 在 Deepgram 的帖子中被引述：「Keeping Pipecat open was fundamental to our decision to join Deepgram,」（保持 Pipecat 开放是我们决定加入 Deepgram 的根本原因，）帖子还说 Kramer 将以开源负责人的身份加入 Deepgram。Deepgram 的帖子还介绍了 Real-Time Context Standard：「At Deepgram Speak today in San Francisco, Stephenson will also introduce the Real-Time Context Standard (RCS), an open protocol co-developed with the Pipecat team.」（在今天旧金山的 Deepgram Speak 上，Stephenson 还将介绍与 Pipecat 团队共同开发的开放协议 RCS。）——这里的 today 是公告发布当日的口吻——协议中「RCS defines three new types of metadata: context from the audio, such as a whisper or an unclear word; instructions for how a language model should use those signals; and guidance for how the response should sound.」（RCS 定义三类新元数据：来自音频的上下文，比如耳语或听不清的词；给语言模型关于如何使用这些信号的指令；以及关于回应应当听起来如何的指引。）按该帖，「That lets an agent ask for clarification when it didn't hear clearly or respond quietly to someone whispering.」（这让代理在没听清时可以请求澄清，或在别人耳语时压低声音回应。）且「Adapters translate those signals and delivery instructions for each model, so developers can use the same approach with models from different providers.」（适配器为每个模型翻译这些信号与表达指令，开发者可以用同一套方法对接不同供应商的模型。）TechCrunch（Ivan Mehta，publishedTime 2026-10-29T13:00:00+00:00）报道「The companies didn't disclose the deal amount but said that they will keep Pipecat open source.」（双方未披露交易金额，但表示会让 Pipecat 保持开源。），并补充「Daily has raised over $62 million in funding to date from investors such as Tiger Global, Highfield Capital, Nat Friedman, Lachy Groom, and Kevin Weil, according to PitchBook data.」（据 PitchBook 数据，Daily 迄今融资超过 6200 万美元，投资方包括 Tiger Global、Highfield Capital、Nat Friedman、Lachy Groom 和 Kevin Weil 等。）、「Earlier this year, Deepgram reached unicorn status with a $130 million Series C round.」（今年早些时候，Deepgram 以 1.3 亿美元 C 轮达到独角兽地位。），以及「Incidentally, both companies were in the same Y Combinator batch in 2016.」（巧合的是，两家公司 2016 年在同一个 Y Combinator 批次。），并从采访中引用 Kramer 的话：「Scott was super committed to Pipecat being open source and vendor-neutral forever.」（Scott 超级执着于让 Pipecat 永远开源、永远厂商中立。）——这个 forever（永远）在两份官方帖自己的承诺句里都没有出现，官方的说法是 will remain（将保持）与 are establishing（正在设立），不带时长词。
