AI Company Launches Stable Audio
Stability AI recently raised $25 million through a convertible note.

Stability’s deal with AudioSparx covers revenue sharing between the two companies, with AudioSparx letting musicians on the platform share in the profits generated by Stable Audio if they opt to participate in the initial training or decide to help train future versions of Stable Audio.
SiMa.ai surpasses NVIDIA in MLPerf
SiMa.ai, a machine learning company providing solutions for the embedded edge, announced the results of its second MLPerf submission. It outperformed the industry's machine learning leader, NVIDIA's Orin NX and AGX Orin, in the Closed Edge power category of the MLCommons MLPerf 3.1 benchmark.
SiMa.ai took part in the MLPerf Inference 3.1 Closed Edge Power category of the benchmarking process, concentrating on the image classification benchmark ResNet50.
