Deep dive

stable-audio-tools is Stability AI's training and inference toolkit for the Stable Audio family of generative audio models — the open counterpart to their hosted music and sound generation.

It exposes the full loop: load a pretrained model from Hugging Face with --pretrained-name (prioritizing model.safetensors over model.ckpt), run inference, and fine-tune or train your own on custom audio.

The repo ships with model configs, training scripts and inference examples, and pairs with the published stable-audio-open-1.0 weights so you can start from an open base instead of scratch.
