Hello folks, here’s what we have today;
PICKS
Companies are sleeping on custom GPTs at work. They can save time all across your team. How? I asked a founder who is using them extensively for internal processes.
OpenAI adds image editing features to ChatGPT. Click on a generated image, draw to select the relevant area and regenerate specific parts with a new prompt. Also, the custom GPT for DALL-E now has style suggestions and an option to select aspect ratios.
Stability AI released Stable Audio 2.0 - It creates high-quality, full tracks with coherent musical structure. The tracks go up to three minutes long from a single prompt. Try it out at stableaudio.com. Stability AI also claims that the model is trained only on a licensed dataset.🍿Our Summary (also below)

QUICK BITES
Stability AI, the company behind open-source AI image models, is back with another model. We are jamming on music this time. The new audio model called Stable Audio 2.0 creates full music tracks with high-quality.
What is going on here?
Stability AI launches Stable Audio 2.0 - an upgrade to their music generation model.
What does this mean?
The new model takes things to the next level with tracks that go up to 3 minutes long from a single prompt. Want more? It’s not just text-to-audio, Stable Audio 2.0 supports audio-to-audio conversion.
To drive that feature home, think of humming a beat in your voice and asking to model to generate that beat with a guitar. This new model has got you. It also emphasized sound effects better and can work with transferring styles.
Stability AI also says that the model was trained on a fully licensed dataset while keeping opt-out requests in mind. On that ground, they are allowing commercial use of this model too. But like their previous models, this isn’t open-source, so you can try it at stableaudio.com and opt for a commercial license if that’s your jam 😉.
Why should I care?
AI is expanding beyond just text and images. AI video, AI music, and AI speech are taking centre stage in 2024. Often there’s talk about deep fakes but Stable Audio works like a tool to create fun music that you can use in projects or just vibe on.
The question is do you really care if a human recorded the actual beats or they generated it using an AI model? PS: listen to this Ben’s Bites banger I made with Suno.
