Introducing Stable Audio 2.5
Today we’re launching Stable Audio 2.5: The first audio model built for enterprise-grade sound production 🔊
Audio influences brand engagement by 86%, but few enterprises are leveraging audio as an extension of their brand, making customized sound an untapped differentiator.
Stable Audio 2.5 is purpose-built for this opportunity to create customizable, high-quality audio at scale, with capabilities that include:
▶️ Improved musical composition: Generate full songs with multi-part structure, meaning a clear intro, middle, and outro.
▶️ Audio inpainting: Input audio, select where the track should start, and the model uses the context to generate the rest of the track.
▶️ Customization: Our team can fine-tune Stable Audio 2.5 to help enterprises create the right sound for their brand.
▶️ Faster inference: The model can generate up to three-minute long tracks in under two seconds on a GPU, outputting in just eight steps (compared to ~50 in the previous model).
With the launch of Stable Audio 2.5, we’re also partnering with leading sound branding agency amp, part of the Landor Group, a @WPP company, to co-develop enterprise solutions for innovative brands who want to create iconic sound identities and experiences.
You can try Stable Audio 2.5 now at StableAudio.com and the Stability AI API, as well as through our platform partners 👉 Fal, Replicate, and ComfyUI.
