Stability AI has launched Stable Audio 2.5, an enterprise-focused AI model designed to help brands create custom, three-minute audio tracks within seconds. The tool enables companies to build a distinctive “sonic identity” through fully licensed, AI-generated music and soundscapes that can be deployed across advertising, retail locations, and other brand touchpoints.
What you should know: Stable Audio 2.5 represents the first audio generation model specifically designed for enterprise-grade sound production.
- The model can create custom musical tracks up to three minutes long in seconds, complete with intro, middle section, and outro compositions.
- Users can fine-tune the model on their organization’s existing sound library to embed signature brand audio into custom generative workflows.
- An “inpainting” feature allows users to upload audio snippets that the model will automatically build upon, though copyrighted material will be rejected by the content moderation system.
How it works: The tool responds to natural language prompts to modify tone and style, similar to recent text-to-speech advancements from companies like ElevenLabs.
- Users can input descriptive terms like “uplifting” to influence the generated audio’s mood and character.
- The model creates multipart compositions that go beyond simple jingles to produce sophisticated soundscapes.
- Custom tracks are designed for use across various channels to strengthen brand recognition through consistent audio identity.
Why this matters: The launch addresses growing demand for custom audio content while eliminating traditional recording and production costs for businesses.
- “Like all Stable Audio models, Stable Audio 2.5 is commercially safe and trained on a fully licensed dataset,” Stability AI wrote on its website.
- This licensing approach is particularly significant given Stability AI currently faces a lawsuit from artists claiming the company illegally used copyrighted materials to train its Stable Diffusion image-generating model.
Pricing and availability: The model offers multiple tiers to accommodate different business needs.
- A free option provides 10 custom tracks monthly.
- The $12/month Pro option increases the limit to 250 tracks monthly.
- More expensive Studio and Max options are available for higher-volume users.
What they’re saying: Stability AI positions the tool as essential for modern brand building.
- “To help enterprises create the right sound, our team can fine-tune Stable Audio models on an organization’s sound library, embedding signature brand audio into custom generative workflows,” the company explained.
- “This ensures that the music or soundscape is uniquely recognizable as part of a brand’s sonic identity or creative guidelines for a project.”
