Stable Audio inference recipes

Stable Audio Open generates audio from text. FastVideo requires the converted Diffusers-format repos published by the FastVideo organization; upstream monolithic checkpoints are not loader-compatible.

Choose a model and GPU count

Choose a model, then pick a GPU count. Each selection maps to one checked-in recipe. If that recipe does not use your chosen count, the page says so instead of guessing.

Before you run

The generated commands expect a local clone:

git clone https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo.git
cd FastVideo

Use Configuration for supported Python and CLI settings, Optimizations for attention and memory tradeoffs, and the support matrix for the supported model and optimization surface.

Troubleshooting

• Loader errors about monolithic checkpoints mean an upstream stabilityai/stable-audio-open-* ID was used; use the FastVideo converted repos from the recipes.
• Duration and step knobs (audio_end_in_s, num_inference_steps) are documented inline in the example source.

Evidence status

The Stable Audio Open 1.0 recipe maps to a checked-in example and a recorded single-GPU B200 run. The Stable Audio Open Small recipe remains Source-backed because the implementation PR did not record a full run for that gated checkpoint. Neither recipe claims a minimum VRAM requirement.
