Stability AI is being rebuilt around music, with Sean Parker and Prem Akkaraju leading the push. The company has released three new audio models along with AI music-editing software, according to techcrunch.com.
An upcoming update will let users hum a melody or beatbox a drum pattern to steer the AI, the company said.
The music focus follows a $76 million funding round announced in late August. Sony, Warner, and Universal participated in that round and licensed their catalogs for training.
Two years ago, Parker joined an $80 million rescue of Stability AI. That effort came after overspending and internal turmoil led to the ouster of founder Emad Mostaque.
