OpenAI's research code and pretrained model weights for Jukebox, a generative neural network that produces music with vocals as raw audio from genre, artist, and lyrics conditioning. It implements a VQ-VAE plus transformer priors in PyTorch and is archived with no further updates.

Use cases

• generate music with singing from lyrics and genre
• sample raw audio songs with a neural network
• research generative models for music
• experiment with VQ-VAE audio compression
• reproduce the Jukebox paper results
• fine-tune a music generation model on my own data

When to choose

• you need raw-audio music generation with vocals and have large GPU resources
• you are doing research on hierarchical audio generative models
• you want to study or extend the Jukebox architecture

When to avoid

• you need a maintained library or timely bug fixes
• you lack high-end GPUs - sampling is extremely slow (hours for seconds of audio)
• you need fast, production-ready music generation
• you need a permissive license - the license is non-standard
