A bit bizarre that there's not a single audio example in that post. But the model is available on their gen-AI service: https://stableaudio.com/
I thought they died because they gave away everything for free with no revenue model.
Emad trained a lot of really great models, but he just gave them away. This cost enormous sums of money.
I wish for a world where Stability gave away the weights, but had a monetization loop to keep going. Imagine if we had OpenAI, Anthropic, and Stability to counter Google. And imagine if the US had a sizable open weights company.

Also appreciate the attention to detail with licensing in the training set. This is an important sticking point – both commercially and ethically – for any product that integrates this type of model.
It sounds too much like general midi. It is better for electronica than for any other genre.
Impressive nonetheless
I didn't know there were models for that. Very cool!

(To fill in some gaps: they’ve consistently had a revenue model, first subscriptions to use their models commercially then fixed-floor cost per generation with revenue sharing with them)
