Stable Audio Tools is Stability AI's open code for generative audio models, covering both inference and training, so it can generate sound and music and be fine-tuned on your own material. The code is MIT; model weights carry their own separate terms, which is the usual arrangement in this space and worth checking before commercial use. Everything runs on your hardware.

How this tool was scored

Key handling 93/100 (where your key rests and who sees it, comparable across any licence) and verifiability 70/100 (how much of that BYOAIK could confirm, lower for closed source). Neither contains a popularity signal.

  • Key Safety 25/25: No cloud key is needed at all. The model runs locally.
  • Request Routing 17/20: Requests go straight from you to the AI provider.
  • Transparency 20/20: Source is public under MIT (model weights licensed separately), so anyone can check how the key is handled.
  • Privacy 14/15: Local-first: it works without sending your data anywhere. Can be self-hosted, so the data path stays inside infrastructure you control.
  • Maintenance 8/10: Commits within the last six months.
  • Verification Confidence 1/10: Compiled from public documentation by an AI-assisted pass, not independently confirmed.

  • [CONFIRMED · SOURCE_SCAN] Most recent commit 2026-05-26, about 4 month(s) ago. source

How your API key is handled

Key handling varies. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.

Setup

Add your provider API key in settings and choose a model.
