Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read

Stable Audio Open
Stable Audio Open occupies a clearly bounded position in a audio production pipeline under the route stability-ai/stable-audio/open. It is best evaluated as a named workflow endpoint rather than as a generic substitute for neighboring versions: planners can assign the route to a specific brief, record the chosen revision, and keep approval history tied to one predictable integration surface from intake through delivery.
A practical rollout of Stable Audio Open should begin with source-readiness checks, ownership of the submitted material, an agreed budget, and a written definition of the final open deliverable. Before automation is enabled, the acceptance pass should verify that the returned asset opens correctly, fits the intended downstream toolchain, satisfies the project’s review criteria, and can be reproduced from the stored request and route identity stability-ai/stable-audio/open.
Highlights
- Distinct output behavior. For Stable Audio Open, for Stable Audio Open, choose where the requested clip begins with seconds_start In Stable Audio Open, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/stable-audio/open workflow with steps as a relevant request control; the steps control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the steps control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
- Creative control. For Stable Audio Open, for Stable Audio Open, set seconds_total up to 47 seconds In Stable Audio Open, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/stable-audio/open workflow with prompt as a relevant request control; the prompt control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the prompt control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
- Workflow fit. For Stable Audio Open, for Stable Audio Open, raise or lower the step count across the declared 2–1,000 range In Stable Audio Open, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/stable-audio/open workflow with seconds start as a relevant request control; the seconds start control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the seconds start control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
