Meta’s AudioCraft will allow users to generate music from text

Facebook’s parent company, Meta unveiled a new generative AI tool called “AudioCraft” that can generate music and audio from text prompts on Thursday.

According to the release issued by the company, there will be three models within AudioCraft. These are MusicGen, AudioGen, and EnCodec.

MusicGen is trained specifically with licensed music owned by Meta and generates music from text prompts.

AudioGen is trained on “public sound effects” and generates sounds from text prompts. The EnCodec decoder which was released yesterday, allows for high-quality music generation with “fewer artifacts”.
