Stability AI Brings Audio Magic to Mobile

Stability AI just pulled off an impressive magic trick. They've shrunk their AI audio generator to fit inside your phone.

The company partnered with chip designer Arm to squeeze their Stable Audio Open model into mobile devices. Unlike other AI sound apps that need constant internet connection, this one works offline - perfect for when inspiration strikes in a Wi-Fi dead zone.

Want the sound of gentle ocean waves? Just type it in. The AI whips up an 11-second clip in about 8 seconds - assuming you've got one of those fancy Armv9 processors. That's 30 times faster than before, thanks to some clever optimization work.

Here's the catch: you can't download it yet. But Stability's CEO Prem Akkaraju hints it's coming soon to consumer devices. The company's been busy lately, adding Titanic director James Cameron to their board and releasing new image models - quite the comeback after their recent corporate drama.

Why this matters:

• Finally, an AI DJ that doesn't need to phone home to make music
• Stability AI proves you don't need a supercomputer to create AI-generated sounds - just a phone and a dream
