Stability AI

Access to Stability AI comes in three forms: self-hosted licenses, a platform API, and integrations with cloud platforms.

Pricing is not something to assume here, so check the site for current terms before planning a project.

Stability AI is an AI model developer that builds open models for image, video, 3D, and audio generation, and it sells the means to run them rather than a single app.

Its best-known model is Stable Diffusion, a deep learning text-to-image model that produces detailed images from written descriptions.

Stable Diffusion also handles inpainting, outpainting, and image-to-image translation guided by a text prompt.

The open model approach is the main draw.

You can run the models on your own infrastructure under a license, call them through the API, or reach them inside a cloud platform you may already use.

That suits developers and teams building image or audio features into their own products, more than people who want a ready-made editing interface.
