Stable Audio 2.5
Stable Audio 2.5 from Stability AI is the first audio model built for enterprise sound production at scale. It generates tracks up to three minutes long in under two seconds on a GPU, using the Adversarial Relativistic-Contrastive (ARC) method. The model produces multi-part compositions with intro, development, and outro sections, and supports audio inpainting for seamless contextual extensions. Trained on fully licensed audio content with copyright detection built in, it is suitable for commercial brand audio, game soundtracks, and production music.

- Describe what to generate, or the change to make.
- seed integer
- The starting point for the model's randomness. The same seed and settings give the same result.
- guidance_scale numberdefault 11–25
- How closely the result follows the prompt. Lower gives the model more freedom.

FAQ
How much does Stable Audio 2.5 cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
