Download and test the model

Download the model

Stable Audio Open is an open-source model optimized for generating short audio samples, sound effects, and production elements using text prompts.

Log in to HuggingFace and navigate to the model landing page:

You may need to fill out a form with your contact information to use the model:

Download and copy the configuration file model_config.json and the model itself, model.ckpt, to your workspace directory, and verify they exist by running the command:

    

        
        
ls $WORKSPACE/model_config.json $WORKSPACE/model.ckpt

    

Test the model

To test the model, use the Stable Audio demo site, which lets you experiment directly through a web-based interface:

    

        
        
https://stableaudio.com/

    

Use the UI to enter a prompt. A good prompt can include:

• Music genre and subgenre.
• Musical elements (texture, rhythm and articulation).
• Musical atmosphere (mood and emotion).
• Tempo, using beats per minute (BPM).

The order of prompt parameters matters. For more information, see the Prompt structure user guide .

You can explore training and inference code for audio generation models in the Stable Audio Tools repository .

Now that you’ve downloaded and tested the model, continue to the next section to convert the model to LiteRT.
