This would be so cool, but we need to think more about how we could do it and make enough money in the future to train more models with even cooler features.

That's a very polite way to say no. Thanks for the answer.

Personally not interested then. I'll stick with Bitwig and Ardour until an open model is available

Neither of those look like they have a generative AI component.

We (as a society) desperately need a way to train these models in a federated, distributed manner. I would be more than happy to commit some of my own compute to training open audio / text / image / you-name-it models.

But (if I understand correctly) the current architecture makes this if not impossible, nearly so.

meta has billions. Other startups can't just donate their IP to the world and then raise money to do multimillion training runs

All models for all types of content will eventually have open source equivalents. The game is to build a great product.

I'm just observing until there's a Stable Diffusion 1.5 equivalent of music generation. Open license, under 8GB of VRAM, large communities for sharing fine-tuned models, plugins like ControlNet, etc. Then this AI music generation will really take off and yield flawless results.

I know it will happen, just like SD happened after DALL-E. Bonus points to whoever does so for using C++ and Vulkan instead of Pytorch and CUDA. :-)

It's too bad Emad didn't get this one out before getting axed.
