Stability AI

What is Stability AI?

Stability AI builds generative models for image, video, 3D and audio and sells them through hosted tools, an API and model licenses. Its Brand Studio product gives creative teams end-to-end generation and editing, including sketch-to-image, inpainting, recoloring and product insertion, with a model routing layer that picks among Stability and third-party models. Enterprise customers can add Brand Central for brand guidelines, Producer Mode for multi-step workflows, single sign-on and custom Brand ID Models trained on their own identity. Developers can use the API, or self-host the core models under a Community License that is free for individuals and organizations with under $1M in annual revenue. Brand Studio pricing starts with a free trial, then Creator at $19/month and Core at $50/month, with custom Enterprise plans. Stable Audio has its own separate subscription plans.
