About

Meta's open-source music generation model from the AudioCraft framework. Generates music from text prompts or melody conditioning. Runs locally on your GPU (16GB VRAM recommended). Good for prototyping and non-commercial projects. Critical caveat: model weights are CC-BY-NC 4.0, meaning commercial game use is not permitted without separate licensing.

Agentic Level: Semi-Autonomous

AI does most of the work; human reviews and refines output.

Generates music from text prompts locally. Fully scriptable and automatable in custom pipelines.
