#2Stability.ai is still around?
I thought they died because they gave away everything for free with no revenue model.
Emad trained a lot of really great models, but he just gave them away. This cost enormous sums of money.
I wish for a world where Stability gave away the weights, but had a monetization loop to keep going. Imagine if we had OpenAI, Anthropic, and Stability to counter Google. And imagine if the US had a sizable open weights company.

A bit bizarre that there's not a single audio example in that post. But the model is available on their gen-AI service: https://stableaudio.com/

I didn't know there were models for that. Very cool!

I wonder if we just discovered that we’re living in that world. :)
(To fill in some gaps: they’ve consistently had a revenue model, first subscriptions to use their models commercially then fixed-floor cost per generation with revenue sharing with them)

#7This is a very small item, but I found it interesting that the paper does not credit Stability AI in the author bylines.

#8Are the released models models useful? I'm worried about their description of the output. I haven't had a chance to try them yet and unable to run them on hugging face at the moment. The https://stableaudio.com/ sample on their website could be used as sample materials for song making but definitely lacking frequency range expected today as a final product.

#9It is insanely fast. Less than 2 seconds for 120 seconds of audio in my 3090.
It sounds too much like general midi. It is better for electronica than for any other genre.
Impressive nonetheless

There are plenty of companies with open weights.
