## About

Open-source AI model for generating images from text descriptions

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria, verified by community testing in April 2026. The main site and API documentation load normally, but Syria is missing from the country menus on the sign-up and contact forms, and launching DreamStudio returns an access-denied page. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-07 — Verified. Community testing from Syria (Damascus) confirmed Stability AI is restricted for Syrian users. The main stability.ai site and all sub-pages load normally and the API documentation is fully viewable, but Syria is absent from the country dropdowns on the Contact Us, Get Started, and Create Demo forms. Attempting to launch DreamStudio via the homepage 'Try it for free' button returns an 'Access denied' page stating the request was blocked to protect the requested service. Status updated from unknown to restricted.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
