To not leave the lead to Google, η Meta κυκλοφόρησε τη δική της γεννήτρια μουσικής με τεχνητή νοημοσύνη - και, σε αντίθεση με την Google, την διέθεσε με ανοιχτό κώδικα.
It's called MusicGen, and it's a music creation tool by Meta. A demonstration of project you can find here. The company's AI tool can turn a text description (eg, "An '80s pop song with lots of drums and synthesizers in the background") into 12-second files. MusicGen can optionally be "directed" by some reference sound, such as an existing song, so it will try to follow both the description and the melody.
Η Meta αναφέρει ότι το MusicGen εκπαιδεύτηκε με 20.000 ώρες μουσικής, 10.000 μουσικά κομμάτια με άδεια χρήσης "υψηλής ποιότητας", 390.000 οργανικά κομμάτια από την ShutterStock and Pond5, a large media library.
The company hasn't disclosed the algorithm it used to train the model, but it has made available pre-trained models that can be run on any device with the appropriate hardware (GPU with about 16 GB of memory).
Does MusicGen work? Its songs are melodic, at least for basic commands like "music with ambient chiptunes" and it seems to be on par (if not slightly better) than Google's own music creation tool, MusicLM. Of course, neither of them will win any music awards.
