Riffusion is great! Wishing you the best of luck, Hayk and Seth. Question: what are role models of companies that generated a fun "toy" like yours (hope you don't mind the word; not meant negatively) and somehow figured out how to monetise it later?

We're happy to be building a toy!

Your comment reminds me of this post: https://cdixon.org/2010/01/03/the-next-big-thing-will-start-...

It's still really early innings for this technology, so we're happy to be learning and building fun technology helps people to do creative things. Main thing we're focused on is turning it from a toy you enjoy once, to something you come back to and dive deeper into (even if it's still just for fun).

I absolutely love this, and it nails genre really well. I think it’s optimised for English, right? The result of trying to get it to speak Spanish is pretty funny! An attempt at norteño/gaucho/polka: https://www.riffusion.com/riffs/28aeb4a7-cf41-4efc-9519-3a10... Reggaeton: https://www.riffusion.com/riffs/1afbbb7a-9987-4e17-89af-1805...

Nice! It is best at pronouncing in English, but we've had a bunch of fun trying to get other languages too. Sometimes you can make things happen phonetically.

Even for english words that it doesn't get right the first time haha

It produces this beautiful nonsense in Japanese also, and even correctly extracted the topic from the Japanese lyrics : https://www.riffusion.com/riffs/71fa41f3-1488-4e9e-8f99-5f81...

Very cool. The latent space is a wild place.

This is kinda crazy to say for me.. but this is one of the very few apps i actually want an iOS app for. Which to me personally, signals the value of the service. Great job

edit: Though it feels a bit weird to need my phone number from a desktop hah. Interesting mix of not-mobile-first-yes-mobile-first. GPU cost mitigation for bots i assume?

We would have an iOS app if we were better mobile engineers... hopefully someday we'll make one!

I highly suggest Flutter if you are open for ideas!
