The Launchpad take

Verdict

Publisher of Stable Diffusion and the Stable Audio models. There are three ways in: download the open models and run them yourself (for example with ComfyUI), which keeps your inputs on your machine; call them from code through the Developer Platform API, which offers image, audio and 3D models but no video (Stability's video models are download-only); or make music and sound effects in the Stable Audio web app at stableaudio.com, its remaining consumer app. Its consumer image app, Stable Assistant, is no longer on Stability's site.

Local/open-source image work, usually through ComfyUI or another app; self-host keeps data local
