AI Powers Audio Creation on Smartphones - Stability AI has launched Stable Audio Open Small, an audio-generating AI model optimized for smartphones, developed in collaboration with Arm. It generates short audio files offline and processes them quickly, using royalty-free libraries to sidestep copyright issues. However, it struggles with vocal and high-quality song generation due to its Western-centric training data.
Stability AI offers the model free for smaller entities, while charging larger businesses. The company is recovering from past financial struggles, making strategic leadership changes and introducing new technologies to rekindle investor confidence.
