Sean Parker is rebuilding Stability AI around music: the Sony, Warner and Universal labels invested and provided catalogs for training

Music SI models are being trained not in defiance of rights holders but under agreements with them — which makes such tools a sustainable business.
According to The Information, Stability AI is betting on tools for musicians: at the end of August the company raised $76 million, with investors including Sony, Warner, Universal and Electronic Arts, and the three major labels licensed their catalogs for model training. Stability has already released three audio models and an editor that creates instrumental tracks from a text prompt; the next update is promised to allow control by a hummed melody or beatboxing. Parker says that this time he is playing by the rules: asking forgiveness instead of permission did not work last time.
