What the maker publishes

Academic origin

The YuE paper describes a family of open foundation models based on LLaMA2 for lyrics-to-song generation of up to five minutes, with style transfer and bidirectional generation. source

Agent editing

The repository provides an agent skill for song generation, instrumental creation, transcription, ABC-score editing and listening comparisons. source

Agent workflow

The repository includes a yue2-music agent skill for song generation, instrumental music, transcription, covers, and score editing. source

Audio output

The local quick start specifies 48 kHz stereo output without quantization. source

Audio output

The documented pipeline produces 48 kHz stereo audio and saves FLAC plus scores, tokens, latents, settings and model identities. source

Audio upload

Yes source

Benchmark claim

The Hugging Face model card reports YuE2 best-of-8 SongBench average 6.9632 on 192 WildSongBench prompts, above the listed Suno v5 and v6 results. source

Code licence

The repository code is released under the Apache License 2.0. source

Commercial use

Yes source

Covers

YuE2 can use a transcribed song melody to create a new interpretation in a target style. source

Documentation depth

The repository includes quick start, creation, cover, editing, agent-skill, benchmark and generation-guide materials with runnable Python and command-line examples. source

Editable composition

The system creates an explicit melody-and-chord plan that users or agents can inspect and change before audio rendering. source

Editing

Users can edit an ABC score’s harmony, melody, tempo, or form and generate a new complete recording. source

Free plan

Yes source

Generation API

The staged Python interface exposes plan(), generate_semantic(), synthesize() and decode() operations. source

Hosted demo

The NOIZ demo accepts song descriptions and lyrics, and its cover studio accepts audio uploads up to 100 MB in listed formats including MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, and OGG. source

Independent rating availability

Capterra lists a YuE AI product page with a displayed 0.0 rating and no visible review count in the search result. source

Inference availability

Hugging Face states that YuE2-3B is not deployed by any Inference Provider. source

Integrations

The repository links an official ComfyUI text-to-music workflow and native nodes for YuE2. source

Integrations

Official materials document Hugging Face model loading, ComfyUI native nodes, a NOIZ-hosted demo, Maestro and the SheetSage2 transcription model. source

Intended users

The repository describes personal users, content creators, and musicians as permitted to use YuE2 and monetize generated outputs without fees or royalties payable to the authors. source

Licensing

The repository says code, agent skill, and documentation use Apache 2.0, while model weights use CC BY-NC 4.0 with additional creator permission; commercial use by companies requires contacting the authors about a model-weights license. source

Limit: audio quality

Tom's Guide said low-VRAM versions reduce audio quality and can generate extremely slowly. source

Limit: commercial use

MrKeyoor notes that the code is Apache-2.0 while the model weights are CC BY-NC 4.0, restricting commercial products that cannot accept noncommercial terms. source
