I recently discovered M-A-P YuE, an open-source AI music generator that creates complete songs with lyrics. While the original model demands hefty 80GB VRAM requirements, I came across a great GitHub project by Mozer called “YuE-extend”.

A look at Stability AI’s new Stable Open Audio 1.0 open source (kinda, sorta, mostly, technically) model and codebase with fine tuning support (kinda, sorta, technically).
