Meta just open-sourced AudioCraft, a unified codebase designed to generate high-fidelity audio and music from simple text prompts. The release packages together MusicGen, the sound-effect generator AudioGen, and an improved EnCodec neural decoder, complete with open weights and code for researchers to train their own models.
Hugging Face just launched AI WebTV, an experimental pipeline demonstrating continuous automated video and audio broadcasting. The setup uses ChatGPT to script clip prompts, Zeroscope V2 for video synthesis, FILM for smoothing frames, and MusicGen for background audio, streaming it all out via FFmpeg. Why it matters: It proves that fully autonomous generative broadcasting can run entirely on open-source pipelines.
Meta just unveiled MusicGen, a generative AI model that turns text prompts and melody inputs into original songs. Trained on 20,000 hours of music and instrument samples, it can theoretically expand a simple hum into a full track. It opens music creation to anyone, though copyright fights with the record industry are likely looming.
