> Alibaba's equivalent was released earlier in Nov and it's open-sourced! https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen-Audio Openly distributed perhaps, but definitely not open source. The license appears as closed as meta (research-only with some leeway for other uses.) Do you have any truely open-source general audio generation models yet? I know about StyleTTS2, which is open source (MIT) and uncensored, but that model focuses on speech generation only. Having an non proprietary model like audiobox or Qwen-Audio would be really nice.
In Audiobox: Meta's new foundation research model for audio generation
This a fantastic new development in the AI Audio space! However, it's quite disappointing that the model is closed sourced. Nonetheless, Alibaba's equivalent was released earlier in Nov and it's open-sourced! https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen-Audio Does anyone have suggestions for how to integrate this into your tech stack via an internal API? Interested to hear the varying thoughts on this. From what I softly understand is that the model weights have to be swapped or altered per se to be able to commercially reuse this. Correct me if I'm wrong.
