Stability AI's New Stable Audio - A Major Leap Forward in AI-Generated Music

The artificial intelligence (AI) company Stability AI has unveiled its latest creation - Stable Audio - which represents a significant advance in AI's ability to generate high-quality music.

Stable Audio utilizes a cutting-edge latent diffusion architecture to create original music compositions from simple text prompts in just seconds. The model was trained on over 800,000 audio samples and can generate 45-90 second tracks with rich instrumentation and production value.

Early audio samples from Stability AI demonstrate Stable Audio's capacity to produce stylistically diverse music like trance, ambient soundscapes, and drum solos based on descriptive prompts. The quality and coherence of these AI-generated tracks are lightyears ahead of previous text-to-audio models like Google's MusicLM and Meta's Audiocraft.

By producing music at CD-quality 44.1kHz sampling rate, Stable Audio opens up possibilities for AI music generation to be used commercially. The incredibly fast inference time also makes it feasible to use Stable Audio tracks as background audio for AI-generated videos, games, and other multimedia projects.

While the free version of Stable Audio limits users to 45 second clips, the Pro subscription enables generating 90 seconds of downloadable audio for commercial use. This monetization model follows Stability AI's approach with DALL-E 2 image generation.

The launch of Stable Audio accelerates the democratization of music composition through AI. As these models continue to rapidly improve, AI-generated music may come to dominate many commercial applications. Stable Audio represents a breakthrough that brings us significantly closer to that future.

RunwayML Gen-2 Director Mode Vs Pika Labs Dash Camera: Generative Video with Camera Controls

Image
The field of AI video generation has been advancing at an incredibly rapid pace over the past year. Two of the leading companies in this space, RunwayML and Pika Labs, have both recently released major updates that allow for much greater control and direction of AI-generated video. RunwayML's new "Director Mode" for their Gen 2 software is a game-changer. Instead of just typing a text prompt and getting whatever video results, you can now control aspects like zooming, panning, tilting, and camera movements.  The ability to dictate these cinematic techniques makes the generated videos appear much more polished and intentional. While the underlying video quality itself still appears quite dreamlike and distorted, this controllability is a huge step forward. Some early testers like Nick St Pierre have created impressive scenes utilizing Director Mode. In one video, the camera smoothly zooms in on an airplane wing as the pilot moves into frame, panning across the cockpit, the

Discover Hyper-Realistic AI Art with G Prompter and Leonardo

Image
AI image generation has taken the art world by storm. With the emergence of new AI art tools like DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, it's now possible for anyone to generate stunning works of art simply by describing what they want in a text prompt. However, coming up with the perfect prompt to generate your desired image can be challenging. This is where tools like G Prompter come in handy. In a recent Youtube video, a content creator demonstrated how G Prompter can help you quickly generate effective prompts for AI art tools like Leonardo. G Prompter allows you to "train" the tool on prompts that have worked well for you in the past. It then uses AI itself to generate new long and descriptive prompts based on your input. Training G Prompter on Leonardo The video creator decided to train G Prompter specifically for generating photorealistic images using Leonardo's "Photoreal" model. Leonardo has a database of top community images along with the pro
