Stable Audio Open Small is the fastest stereo text-to-audio model on the market, with a lightweight architecture that has 341M parameters compared to Stable Audio Open's 1.1B parameters. It is optimized to generate audio on a mobile phone in less than 8 seconds and is faster to generate and fine-tune. The model is also efficient, leveraging Arm's KleidiAI libraries to run even more efficiently at the edge, providing faster results while lowering costs for compute time.
Stable Audio Open Small is well-suited for generating short audio samples, sound effects, and production elements using text prompts. It is perfect for creating drum loops, foley, instrument riffs, and ambient textures. The model's compact size and fast inference make it a great fit for on-device deployment on Arm-powered smartphones and edge devices, where real-time generation and responsiveness matter. By using different model sizes, organizations can allocate workloads to the processors best suited to their use case.
