Overview

StepFun is an AI company founded in April 2023 that develops and deploys frontier large language models and multimodal AI systems. The platform provides access to models like Step-5 (their frontier model for complex tasks), Step-3.7 Flash, and Step-3.5 Flash through both an API platform and an interactive AI Studio.

Beyond text models, StepFun offers StepAudio 3, a family of voice models covering speech recognition, real-time voice interaction, text-to-speech synthesis, voice generation, and music generation. The platform is designed for developers to integrate these models into their own products and workflows, with support for both coding and agentic applications.
