Excited to share SingSong, a system which can generate instrumental accompaniments to pair with input vocals!. 📄🔊. Work co-led by myself, @antoine_caillon, and @ada_rob as part of @GoogleMagenta and the broader MusicLM project 🧵

🔊 Easy to lose hours to live jamming w/ Magenta RT. Feels like a glimpse at something magical. Try it yourself! Some setup involved (we're working on improving that!) but worth it:

We've worked with @hollyherndon and @matdryhurst to finetune Magenta RT on Holly's vocals and the result is a really cool model that keeps the base model's ability to respond to wide-ranging controls while infusing outputs with the unique sonic qualities of the finetuning domain.

Music Arena is a work in progress! We will add new models and refine over time. It's crazy hard to build these platforms - we would never have gotten far without amazing collaborators @yonghyunk1m @iamwaynechi @ml_angelopoulos @infwinston @koichi__saito @shinjiw_at_cmu @mittu1204.

We're launching with a broad set of open and proprietary models from different providers. I am a bit scared about what will happen to our little 4 GPU machine serving the open weights models 😅, so please forgive downtime and let us know if you have spare compute to contribute 🙏

We aim to maximize transparency: the combination of our open source code and comprehensive data releases means anyone can audit the entire lifecycle of data on our platform, from prompts to audio to votes to (forthcoming) leaderboard.

Another challenge in music AI research is a lack of open and renewable preference data. We aim to fill this gap through a *rolling data release* policy: comprehensive monthly dumps of all the data we collect through the platform w/ user privacy protections.

While Music Arena follows evaluation trends in other AI areas, here we propose features specific to music. Music models have diverse type signatures - we use an LLM to route text prompts to appropriate ones. We also collect listening data for more fine-grained preference info

Human listening studies are the gold standard for evaluation in music AI, but study protocols are currently adhoc and unscalable. Music Arena aims to fill this gap through *live evaluation*: a standardized pairwise evaluation protocol that (hopefully!) scales w/ real-world users.
