Stability AI, known for its popular AI art tool Stable Diffusion, has launched a new open-source model called Stable Audio Open, allowing users to generate high-quality sound effects and musical samples from simple text prompts. The model can create audio clips up to 47 seconds long, ranging from drum beats and guitar riffs to ambient noises and sound effects.

Built using a dataset of samples from Freesound and the Free Music Archive, Stable Audio Open provides a unique opportunity for sound designers, musicians, and creators to experiment with AI-generated audio. Users can also fine-tune the model with their own custom recordings to generate new and personalized sounds.
