STABILITY AI CLOSES A $76M SERIES B -- EA, SONY MUSIC, UMG AND WARNER MUSIC ALL INVEST, TOTAL FUNDING $232M (2026-08-25, vendor-primary; unrecorded until 2026-09-17): Stability announced 'a Series B fundraise of $76M in new capital', bringing total funding under CEO Prem Akkaraju to **$232M** 'inclusive of two equity rounds and convertible notes'. **New investors: Electronic Arts, Sony Music Group, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, AMD Ventures and Pacific Alliance Ventures**; Coatue, Greycroft, Kadmos, Sean Parker and Eric Schmidt re-up. Coatue co-founder Thomas Laffont joins a board that already includes James Cameron and Sean Parker. **What it means for Stable Audio:** all three majors now hold equity in the vendor whose music model is trained on licensed Warner and Universal catalogues -- the licensing relationship recorded on this page is now also an ownership relationship, which cuts both ways (deeper catalogue access; less likelihood of an adversarial rights posture, but also less independence). Stability describes itself in the release as 'the leader in purpose-built AI products for professional creatives across music, gaming, and entertainment' -- the image-model-first identity of the SD3.5 era is gone from the positioning.

STABLE AUDIO DAW PLUGIN AND MULTI-TRACK WEB EDITOR SHIP IN BETA -- MACOS AU/VST3 FOR LOGIC AND ABLETON, TEMPO SYNC, SIX-MINUTE GENERATIONS (2026-08-18, vendor-primary; unrecorded until 2026-09-17): Stability released two ways to work with Stable Audio 3.0. **The Stable Audio plugin** loads as an instrument in a DAW (Logic's Instrument slot, Ableton's Instrument-track PlugIns), syncs to session BPM, generates 'from a short section to a full six-minute song', and keeps multiple takes in a playlist; **macOS AU and VST3 only, Apple Silicon and Intel** -- no Windows build stated. **The web app on StableAudio.com** adds iterative direction in plain language, audio-to-audio variation, per-track level/pan/mute/solo plus per-track and master effects, and bouncing individual parts or the mix. Both run on Stability's 'commercially-safe models' with the standing promise that 'you own your outputs, and can distribute outputs freely'. **Explicitly 'an early beta, so some features are experimental'.** This is the first time Stable Audio has been positioned as a production tool inside the musician's existing session rather than a prompt box, and it is the surface the Series B (8/25) release points to.

Medium and Large produce full compositions up to 6 minutes 20 seconds; the small models target up to ~2 minutes and on-device use.

Stability states the models are built on fully licensed data, backed by previously announced Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group partnerships. No public pricing was disclosed at launch

As a brand-new release, third-party quality comparisons vs Suno v5 / Udio are not yet available -- vendor demos look strong on structure and licensing is the headline differentiator, but independent evaluation is pending. Treat output-quality scoring here as preliminary
