If you are here, this is probably why
Stability's consumer products have been discontinued or reduced
You want Stable Diffusion models alongside other providers
You want 26 image models from one API, not just one provider
You need image generation alongside video, voice, and music
The short version
Stability is a model provider, not a generation platform.
FairStack wraps many providers (including SD models) into one platform with one API.
26 image models -- SD 3.5 Large, FLUX, GPT Image 1.5, Ideogram, and more.
Plus 18 video + 10 voice + 8 music models.

When Stability AI may still be the better choice
We believe in honesty. Here is where they have an edge.
If you need to self-host models for privacy or compliance — Stability AI's open-source models can run on your own infrastructure
If you need to fine-tune Stable Diffusion with your own data — FairStack does not offer fine-tuning
