New "FBI-validated" Lahaina wildfire missing list has 385 names_我的网站
A | AI应用公司LiblibAI近期完成1.3亿美元B轮融资。 The number of people on the official list of those missing from the Maui wildfire stood at 385 on Friday, nearly unchanged from a week earlier.In a news release, the Maui Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said 245 people on the list of 388 made public the previous week were located and removed. However, a nearly equal number of new names were added.The updated total was a startling departure from what had been expected — a day earlier Gov. Josh Green said he believed the number would fall below 100. "We think the number has dropped down into the double digits, so thank God," Green said in a video posted to social media.After Maui police released the updated list, the governor said the numbers of fatalities and missing are often in flux in mass casualty events until investigations are completed.
"Exact numbers are going to take time, perhaps a long time, to become finalized," Green said in a statement provided through a spokesperson.He said there are less than 50 "active missing person cases." He didn't elaborate but indicated those are the people for whom more information was provided than the minimum to be on the missing list compiled by the FBI. It only requires a first and last name provided by a person with a verified contact number.A worker is seen in the fire-ravaged town of Lahaina on the Hawaiian island of Maui on Aug. 22, 2023. Gao Shan/Xinhua via Getty Images Authorities have said at least 115 people died in the blaze that swept through Lahaina, the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in more than a century. So far, the names of 50 people have been publicly released and five others have been identified but their identities withheld because next of kin haven't been reached. The rest have yet to be identified.The flames turned the picturesque seaside town into rubble in a few short hours on Aug. 8. Wind gusts topping 60 mph ripped through the town, causing the flames to spread exceptionally quickly.
Lahaina has deep significance in Hawaiian history as the one-time capital of former Hawaiian kingdom and as the home to high-ranking chiefs for centuries. In recent decades, the town became popular with tourists, who ate at its oceanfront restaurants and marveled at a majestic 150-year-old banyan tree.Half the town's 12,000 residents are now living in hotels and short-term vacation rentals. The Environmental Protection Agency is leading an effort to clean hazardous waste left in a burn zone stretching across some 5 square miles.Reconstruction is expected to take years and cost billions.Initially more than 1,000 people were believed unaccounted for based on family, friends or acquaintances reporting them as missing. Officials narrowed that list down to 388 names who were credibly considered missing and released the names to the public last week.New names on Friday's updated list were added from the Red Cross, shelters and interested parties who contacted the FBI, Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said. He urged family members of the missing to submit their genetic data to help identify their relatives."If you have a loved one that you know is missing and you are a family member, it's imperative that you get a DNA sample," Pelletier said in a video posted to Instagram.The cause of the fire hasn't been determined, but it's possible powerlines from downed utility poles ignited the blaze. Maui County has sued Hawaiian Electric, the electrical utility for the island.
The utility acknowledged its power lines started a wildfire early on Aug. 8 but faulted county firefighters for declaring the blaze contained and leaving the scene, only to have a second wildfire break out nearby.Local government officials have faced significant criticism for their response both before, during and after the Lahaina fire, one of several which sparked on Maui on Aug. 8. Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen has been vague as to his actions as the Lahaina fire was spreading. In an interview Bissen gave to local station KITV-TV, just after 6 p.m. on Aug. 8, he said, "I'm happy to report the road is open to and from Lahaina." However, Bissen was seemingly unaware that, at that point, much of downtown Lahaina was already ablaze. And while it was Bissen's job to ask the state for emergency backup, the mayor told reporters this week he did not call the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. "I can't speak to what — or whose responsibility it was to communicate directly," Bissen told CBS News this week. "I can't say who was responsible for communicating with General Hara."Major General Kenneth Hara, the director of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, said in a recent interview with Hawaii News Now that he was initially unaware of crucial details about the fire. "I thought everyone had gotten out safely," he said. "It wasn't until probably the next day I started hearing about fatalities."
Amid calls for his resignation, Bissen released a video statement Thursday in which he said: "I want to be clear and repeat, that I have been present in our emergency operations center, since Aug. 7," adding he did "become aware of fatalities" until Aug. 9. "My first thoughts are, we should really get to all of the facts, whatever they may be, good or bad, that is a deeply personal discussion for any mayor and his or her constituents to have," Green told CBS News in an interview Friday when asked whether Bissen should resign. On Aug. 17, a little over a week after the fire broke out, Herman Andaya resigned from his post as chief of the Maui Emergency Management Agency, just one day after he publicly defended his controversial decision not to activate the island's warning sirens when the Lahaina fire was spreading.Andaya argued that sounding the sirens could have created confusion by sending Lahaina residents into the path of the blaze because they may have thought the sirens were signaling a tsunami, not a wildfire."The public is trained to seek higher ground in the event that the sirens are sounded," Andaya told reporters on Aug. 16."Had we sounded the sirens that night, we were afraid that people would have gone mauka (mountainside), and if that was the case, they would have gone into the fire," he added.
Andaya has since been replaced by Darryl Oliveira, a former Hawaii Fire Department chief who also served as the head of the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.
C | 用户可以直接在云端调用算力,使用文生图、图生图、ControlNet、局部重绘等功能,无需配置本地显卡。平台为每个模型提供推荐的提示词和参数设置,降低使用门槛。
除了工具功能,LiblibAI还搭建了创作者社区。用户生成的作品可以在平台展示,其他人能查看生成参数并进行二次创作。这种“模型-创作-分享”的机制形成了内容生产的循环。

而且,Liblib也在通过模型轻量级训练与创作者激励机制,来建设自己的社区生态。
目前LiblibAI的产品矩阵已经从图像扩展到视频。2025年10月发布的2.0版本增强了视频生成能力,支持多模型生成与专业级特效模板,覆盖从灵感到成片的完整流程。官方称,这次大的版本更新,让其从“聚合工具”升级为“AI专业创作工作室”。这也意味着比静态图像更广的商业化空间。
1、AI应用公司可以不被模型吞噬,并继续增长
回看LiblibAI的发展历程,可以梳理出几个关键节点和选择。
2023年7月,LiblibAI拿到天使轮融资,当时正值AIGC概念从技术圈走向大众市场,Stable Diffusion的开源生态快速发展,全球创作者对模型、工具和交流社区的需求开始井喷。LiblibAI选择了应用层路线,而非去做基础模型,切入了离用户更近的社区生态赛道,避开了与头部公司在基础技术上的正面竞争,将资源集中在“社区生态+工作流整合”上。
当时的产品形态,也以WebUI为主,大多是对AI敏感的设计人士在使用。
2024年,LiblibAI用一年时间完成了PMF验证,从一个工具集发展为具备网络效应的平台雏形。
E | 产品形态开始开始向工作流的样子转变,通过进入更专业的更复杂的工作流并成为其中重要的一部分,来获得更高的留存转化并尝试商业化的可能。
这个阶段,Liblib开始搭建一个连接上下游的平台结构:上游的模型能力通过创作者社区和工作流,转化为实际的商业价值。“创作者分享玩法、用户生成内容、企业为稳定服务付费”这套机制逐步建立起来,形成了一个商业闭环。

在平台化和社区化的同时,产品也开始Agent化。此前工作流形态的很重要原因就是模型的Agent化能力依然不足,但随着Agent能力增强,AI应用从一个辅助变成更加全面的自主处理任务的Agent成为最重要趋势,Liblib的团队也在这个阶段同时押注了Agent的技术和全球化交错的窗口期。
从资本的角度来看,LiblibAI的这轮融资反映出AI投资逻辑的变化。
过去两年,AI大模型赛道的投资逻辑可以用疯狂来形容。估值与商业化能力往往不匹配——200亿估值的公司年收入可能不到10亿,市销率(P/S)动辄达到20-30倍。
G | 估值与实际收入倒挂,烧钱速度超过造血能力,技术叙事成为主要的估值支撑。
但从2024年下半年开始,一级市场的投资标准发生了变化。投资人不再只看“模型参数更大”“benchmark分数更高”这类技术指标,而是开始关注更具体的商业问题:付费用户规模、单位经济模型、客户留存率、盈利时间表。
LiblibAI此次以及此前多次融资其实都是在这样的思路下完成。陈冕在多个公开分享中提到过Liblib早期的补贴以及获客“战斗”,这种对商业化和增长的重视,也影响着产品设计。
在前不久更新的2.0版本里,它在继续保留了老用户习惯了的WebUI和ComfyUI的同时,给新的更广泛的潜在用户提供了更低门槛的诸多功能,从可以让视频与图像生成在同一界面完成的极简生成器,到对开源与闭源模型的兼容,以及不拘泥于“AI原教旨”但用户会十分需要的专业视觉特效功能。

同时,它给创作者提供的补贴激励继续。

2.0版本后,平台采用订阅制+按需付费的混合模式:普通用户免费使用基础功能,专业用户通过订阅获得更高算力配额和高级功能,企业客户为API服务和定制化需求付费。
