Stability AI has not had a permanent CEO since its founder Emad Mostaque departed in March, reportedly due to investors' displeasure over the finances that were apparently so bad that itit was $80 million. The investors were also reportedly able to get Stability AI's suppliers to forgive $100 million in debt, plus a reduction in $300 million of planned future debt - primarily for cloud bills.
Stabilizing Stability AI will be a challenge for its new executives, as AI firms require lots of capital and – as is the case with many startups - struggle to turn a profit. In 2023, Stability AI reportedly expected revenue of just $11 million, but expected a $99 million bill for computing alone, plus $54 million for wages and other operating expenses.But the announcement doesn’t include product plans, or hints about how Stability AI will make money from its models.
