Story X Stability AI: Open-Source AI Models Empower the Creator Economy
Story leverages Stability AI's open models to connect creators and developers, advancing open-source AI innovation
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Global intellectual property (IP) blockchain Story has announced a new era of open-source artificial intelligence (AI) development powered by cutting-edge models from Stability AI—enabling contributors (creators, developers, and artists) to capture value for their contributions to the AI ecosystem. Leveraging Stability AI’s technology, Story aims to address critical challenges in proper attribution, tracking, and monetization of creative works generated by AI.
Story focuses on solving the lack of clear pathways for creators to monetize derivative works within open-source ecosystems. Despite remarkable advancements in AI, the rightful attribution and monetization of creator IP have not kept pace with innovation.
"We’re excited to leverage Stability AI’s models to tackle some of the most pressing challenges brought about by the rapid rise of AI," said Jason Zhao, Founding Core Contributor at Story and Co-Founder & Chief Protocol Officer at PIP Labs. "The combination of AI and blockchain is powerful and essential. In this age of AI-driven creative explosion, blockchain can protect digital ownership. By combining the technologies of Stability AI and Story, we demonstrate how proper incentive structures can ensure accurate attribution, empower creators, and ultimately drive the advancement of AI."
Story and its ecosystem applications will use Stability AI’s leading foundational image models to build AI applications that embed contribution tracking throughout the entire AI development lifecycle, ensuring fair compensation for all creators involved in monetized outputs.
Mahojin and ABLO are two AI applications built on Story that leverage Stability AI’s foundational models alongside Story’s blockchain technology. Mahojin is a search-and-generate AI hybrid platform, while ABLO is a collaborative AI platform allowing creators to design physical goods using leading brand IPs. Both platforms use Stability AI’s models to help users easily bring their creative visions to life, and integrate Story’s technology to enable improved provenance and attribution across the AI stack. These projects showcase real-world use cases and illustrate how creators can gain new ways to protect their IP and profit from their contributions within a dynamic, shared creative economy.
By tracking contributions, artists and other creators can be compensated more fairly, quickly, and easily. This also means their works can be used more broadly by others.
Stability AI, the developer of the Stable Diffusion model, currently has over 5 million users leveraging its generative AI model to create images and media. Stability AI is committed to open-source models and has expanded into generative domains such as video and audio.
"Empowering creators is at the heart of everything we do at Stability AI. We’re thrilled to see our models being used with Story’s blockchain technology to ensure proper attribution and reward contributors," said Scott Trowbridge, Vice President at Stability AI, in a statement. He emphasized that decentralized models for the creator industry will become increasingly important.
Story is committed to exploring diverse use cases for integrating AI and blockchain to meet the evolving needs of creators and developers in the generative AI era. One such area involves registering unique artistic styles or voices—as training data—on Story as IP with transparent usage terms.
Anyone can use these IPs to train or fine-tune their own models. If a creator generates profitable outputs using such a model, everyone along the creation chain shares in the rewards.
By harnessing Stability AI’s state-of-the-art models, Story is taking a crucial step toward realizing its vision of building a sustainable and equitable network in the age of AI.
