# Stable Audio Open 1.0 — Stability AI's open-weight latent-diffusion # SFX/ambience generator. 1.21B params, ~4-6 GB VRAM in fp16, up to # 47 s clips at 44.1 kHz. Strong on text-aligned sound effects, foley, # field-recording-style ambience. NOT a music model — it does not # generate intelligible vocals or structured songs (use ACE-Step for # that). # # LICENSE: Stability AI Community License. Personal / research use is # free; commercial use requires a separate license from Stability # (https://stability.ai/license). Same posture we already accepted # for Voxtral. # # No upstream Docker image — we ship a custom Dockerfile + a small # FastAPI shim (server.py) that wraps diffusers' StableAudioPipeline # and exposes POST /v1/audio/sfx. # # All tunables live in .env — edit that, not this file. services: stable-audio-open: image: local/stable-audio-open:${SAO_TAG} build: # Build context is the compose dir on the host — the playbook # uploads server.py + Dockerfile alongside this compose.yaml. context: . dockerfile: Dockerfile container_name: stable-audio-open restart: unless-stopped runtime: nvidia ports: - "${SAO_BIND:-0.0.0.0}:${SAO_PORT}:8000" environment: - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${SAO_GPU_DEVICES:-1} - SAO_MODEL=${SAO_MODEL:-stabilityai/stable-audio-open-1.0} - HF_HOME=/app/hf_cache # Model is gated on HuggingFace (you must accept the Stability # Community License once on the model page before the token can # download it).
