Stable Audio Open β Core ML
Text-to-Music, 2024
Text-to-music. Up to 11.9s stereo 44.1 kHz. Rectified flow DiT + T5 + Oobleck VAE.

Core ML conversion of stabilityai/stable-audio-open-small for on-device inference on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Converted with coremltools; the packages are stateless, so all sequencing and buffering lives in your Swift code.

compute_units is not a suggestion -- it is the configuration the conversion was verified against. Moving a package to a different compute unit can silently change the numerics (FP16 attention overflow) or crash on the GPU.
Download
hf download mlboydaisuke/coreml-zoo --include "stableaudio/*" --local-dir ./stable_audio
unzip './stable_audio/stableaudio/*.zip' -d ./stable_audio
Use in Swift
import CoreML
let config = MLModelConfiguration()
config.computeUnits = .cpuAndGPU // as converted β see the table above
// Unzip the .mlpackage, drop it into your Xcode target and Xcode compiles it
// at build time:
let model = try StableAudioT5Encoder(configuration: config)
// ...or compile a downloaded .mlpackage at runtime:
let compiled = try await MLModel.compileModel(at: mlpackageURL)
let model = try MLModel(contentsOf: compiled, configuration: config)
This model is split into 4 Core ML packages that are driven in sequence from Swift. Load them one at a time, copy the outputs out of the
MLMultiArraybuffers and release each model before loading the next β two large Core ML models resident at once will OOM on an iPhone.
Demo
- Sample app β
sample_apps/StableAudioDemo, a standalone SwiftUI project. - Models Zoo β this model is downloadable and runnable inside the Models Zoo app on the App Store, no build required.
Conversion
- Script:
convert_stable_audio.py - Pitfalls hit during conversion (FP16 overflow, ANE buffer limits, stride handling):
docs/coreml_conversion_notes.md - Model index: CoreML-Models
License
The conversion inherits the upstream license: Stability AI Community License. See https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-audio-open-small.
