Skip to the samples: https://audiocraft.metademolab.com/audiogen.html

And https://audiocraft.metademolab.com/musicgen.html

The samples included in the press release are quite impressive to my ears, but the other samples (especially from AudioGen) have a hint of artificially.

As usual the music is quite repetitive, but I'm looking forward to tools that simplify changing the prompt whilst it generates over a window. I can only imagine the consequences for royalty free music.

Edit: the "Text-to-music generation with diffusion-based EnCodec" samples are quite impressive.

The demos are great. Could someone explain what’s in it for Meta open sourcing all these models?

They want to comoditize the offerings of OpenAI, Google, MS, and Apple. Also, they gain mindshare and good will after years of bad publicity. Some back contributions might help them improve the models for free.

If they just keep their models, people won't be interested and will build over ChatGPT or Bard.
