Alibaba's AI music creation platform HappyShrimp has officially launched on iOS and Android, arriving on Apple's App Store and major Android app stores. The App Store version has been updated to 0.2.14.

Developed by Alibaba's ATH (TokenHub) business group, the product first launched in beta as a PC web version on August 17, 2026. It is the third member of Alibaba's "Happy Series" AI models, following the video generation model HappyHorse and the 3D interactive video model HappyOyster.

The product focuses on end-to-end integrated full-song generation. Users can describe the mood, story, or style in natural language to generate lyrics, composition, arrangement, and vocals, or bring their own lyrics. The platform offers two modes: "Smart Lyrics" and "Instrumental." The latter produces instrumental BGM without vocals, suitable for short videos, podcasts, and documentary soundtracks. "Music Recipe" supports saving and reusing generation parameters, while "Make a Similar Track" can reference the style and instrumentation direction of an uploaded audio track, but does not replicate the original singer's timbre.

In terms of pricing, standard membership in China costs about 30 yuan per month and allows the generation of 150 songs, equivalent to about 0.2 yuan per song; overseas membership starts at US$14.90 per month, and credit packs start at US$9.90.

It is worth noting that Xiami Music ceased service in February 2021, while HappyShrimp formed a strategic partnership with Taihe Music Group on its launch day, bringing copyright holders into its ecosystem and creating a copyright strategy different from that of the old Xiami.
