Meet Stable Audio 3.0, the open-weight model family built for artistic experimentation. This is our open invitation to experiment with generative audio. We believe the best innovations are still waiting to be built. The 4-1-1 on 3.0: 📣 You own your outputs, and can distribute and commercialize them under the Stability AI Community License (up to $1 million in revenue). 🎵 New and improved capabilities include variable-length generation up to six minutes, and full song composition on portable devices, no GPU required. ✅ Trained on a fully licensed dataset. 🎨 You can customize the models on your own library with support for LoRa training, which we’ve documented for the first time. More on the models 👇

a lot of y'all on here really like music

stable audio 3 ported to c++ embedded it into an iPlug2 project made an http server for it and confirmed it works with existing frontends hoping this is useful for others i know it will be for me links 👇

i don't care what you have to do. buy and just fill your nvme with open weights right now while the door is still open. qwen, gemma, deepseek, the ring models, the llama checkpoints, all of it, pull it tonight. i'm not being dramatic, i watched a frontier model get yanked dark for 19 days by a government order three weeks ago and nobody got a vote. these things live on one company's servers and every single one is one policy change, one acquisition, one export rule away from vanishing on you. a model on your drive can never be taken back. that's the whole thing. that's the only ownership that survives a bad monday. weights are cheap right now and disk is cheaper. the window where you can just download the frontier for free is not going to stay open forever, nothing this good ever does. stop reading this. go pull the ones you'd cry about losing. do it before you sleep.

BREAKING: AI researcher “Pliny the Liberator” takes well-deserved vacation; Fable relaunch goes off without a hitch, the US government declares AI safe, railless open-weight Mythos-level models bring the golden age of cyber hardening, superintelligence is widely distributed to all, and everyone lives happily ever after! 🥰

Most AI audio models have never heard a maqam. Team Motif fine-tuned Stable Audio 3.0 on Arabic maqam, built an Ableton plugin for microtonal style transfer, and won our Stable Audio 3.0 Challenge at Music Hackspace running locally on device. Watch Jad Al Masri break it down 👇

you have no idea what i put my local models through every day. i crack them fucking open man, tear the weights apart, tune them on whatever i want, push them till they break, then rebuild them how i like. this is the feeling nobody renting an api will ever have. it lives on my drive, on my hardware. not a service i borrow for the month. it's mine. i can do anything to it. you query closed models. i own local ones. owning means you can break it, bend it, make it yours. that's the whole game.
