Researchers introduced YuE (pronounced “yeah” in English), an open weights model that transforms lyrics into complete songs with vocals and accompaniment. YuE can generate up to five minutes of music in various genres and languages, using tools like a semantically enhanced audio tokenizer and a dual-token approach for vocal-instrumental modeling. The model’s release under the Apache 2.0 license aims to advance music generation and creative AI, similar to how Stable Diffusion and LLaMA impacted their respective fields. (GitHub)
