The record

What it does: AudioGen is a text-guided audio generation model that generates sounds from text.
Intended users: The model card names audio, machine learning, and AI researchers, as well as amateurs learning about generative models, as primary users.
Model architecture: The released model combines EnCodec audio tokenization with an autoregressive Transformer language model and has 1.5 billion parameters.
Prompt generation: The documented API generates audio samples from text descriptions, with an example configured to generate five-second samples.
Generation modes: The training documentation describes conditional and unconditional generation, audio continuation from a prompt, and greedy, temperature, top-K, and top-P sampling.
Model availability: The AudioGen instructions list one pretrained model, facebook/audiogen-medium, and a local Jupyter notebook demo.
Hardware requirement: The instructions say inference with the medium-sized models requires a GPU with at least 16 GB of memory.
License: The repository says its code is MIT-licensed and its model weights use CC-BY-NC 4.0.
Training data: The instructions say the datasets used to train AudioGen are not provided.
Language limit: The model card says AudioGen was trained on English descriptions and performs less well in other languages.
Output limit: The model card says AudioGen cannot generate realistic vocals and may require prompt engineering for satisfying results.
Responsible use: The model card advises against downstream use without further risk evaluation and mitigation.
Support: The model card directs questions and comments to the project’s GitHub repository or its issue tracker.
Purpose: AudioGen is a text-to-sound generation model provided through AudioCraft.
