Stability AI releases Stable Audio 3.0 — models generating music up to 6 minutes

Friends, sharing a generative-audio update: Stability AI released Stable Audio 3.0.

In brief:
- Four models: small SFX and small (459M), medium (1.4B), large (2.7B). Medium/large generate tracks up to 6:20; small — up to 2 minutes for on‑device use.
- Availability: small SFX, small and medium have open weights; large via API/paid self‑hosting; companies with revenue >$1M require an enterprise license.
- Rights and partnerships: Stability says data are licensed; the company has deals with Warner and Universal. Industry debates on licensing continue.

Why it matters: a step toward professional tools and renewed debate over music rights.

What barriers remain for mass adoption?
