Stable Audio 3

**A state-of-the-art open platform for fast, high-quality generated audio and music.** [Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.17991) · [🤗 Models](https://huggingface.co/collections/stabilityai/stable-audio-3) · [🤗 Extra Models](https://huggingface.co/collections/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-extra) · [Discord](https://discord.gg/cKpvjey8b) · [Demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/stabilityai/stable-audio-3) · [Blog Post](https://stability.ai/news-updates/meet-stable-audio-3-the-model-family-built-for-artistic-experimentation-with-open-weight-models) Stable Audio 3 is the next generation of Stable Audio: a focused, streamlined platform for inference and fine-tuning, built on lessons from [stable-audio-tools](https://github.com/Stability-AI/stable-audio-tools). If you're doing foundational research or working with previous Stable Audio models, that repo is still the place to go. | Model | Model ID | Autoencoder | Hardware | Params | Max length | Use case | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [**Stable Audio 3 Small-Music**](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-small-music) | `small-music` | SAME-Small | CPU | 433M | 120s | Lightweight music-only inference, no GPU required | | [**Stable Audio 3 Small-SFX**](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-small-sfx) | `small-sfx` | SAME-Small | CPU | 433M | 120s | Lightweight sound effects-only inference, no GPU required | | [**Stable Audio 3 Medium**](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-medium) | `medium` | SAME-Large | GPU (CUDA) | 1.4B | 380s | High Quality, Fast Inference | | **Stable Audio 3 Large** | — | SAME-Large | API only | 2.7B | 380s | Highest quality, API only. Not supported by this repo, see the [API docs](https://stableaudio.com/user-guide) | Base (un-post-trained) checkpoints, the SAME autoencoders, and optimized variants are available in the [Extra Models collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/stabilityai/stable-audio-3-extra).
