Full install guide
// how it works

How it works

  1. Clone and install dependencies with uv

    Clone, then sync for inference only — or add the train and UI extras for the full toolkit.

  2. Accept the pretrained model terms on Hugging Face

    For Stable Audio Open 1.0, accept the model terms on its Hugging Face page before downloading.

  3. Run the Gradio interface and generate

    Launch the interface pointed at the pretrained model and generate audio from prompts.

// features

Why people love it

Train and run in one repo

Dataset training, inference and a Gradio UI live together, instead of three separate projects.

Stable Audio Open, runnable locally

Generate music and sound with the open model, on your own hardware.

Modern attention support

PyTorch 2.5+ with Flash Attention and Flex Attention for faster generation.

A pip route too

Prefer pip over uv? The package installs directly with its train extra.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Install for inference

    The README install route with uv.

    git clone https://github.com/Stability-AI/stable-audio-tools.git
    cd stable-audio-tools
    uv sync
  2. Install everything

    Training plus the Gradio UI in one sync.

    uv sync --extra train --extra ui
  3. Launch the Gradio UI

    Pointed at Stable Audio Open 1.0 after accepting its Hugging Face terms.

    uv run python run_gradio.py --pretrained-name stabilityai/stable-audio-open-1.0

Questions, answered

Who makes Stable Audio Tools?

Stability AI, as the training and inference code for its audio generation models.

Is Stable Audio Tools free?

The code is MIT licensed; the pretrained Stable Audio Open model has its own Hugging Face terms to accept before download.

What do I need?

Python 3.10, PyTorch 2.5+ (for Flash/Flex Attention), and uv for the recommended install.

Can I train my own model?

Yes — training is a first-class part of the repo, with dataset configs and a train extra in the install.

How do I get started?

Clone, uv sync, accept the Stable Audio Open terms on Hugging Face, and run the Gradio interface.
