The ambition to create high-fidelity, full-length music from simple text prompts or existing melodies has long been a frontier in generative AI. Addressing this challenge, researchers have introduced a unified AI music generation framework capable of orchestrating diverse musical outputs.

Bridging Text, Lyrics, and Melody into Song

This novel AI music generation framework tackles three core tasks: generating complete songs from descriptions and lyrics, producing instrumental tracks, and creating cover songs that adapt style while preserving melodic essence. The architecture is a sophisticated blend of components, starting with a semantic-aware tokenizer that discretizes audio into an 8-codebook representation. This enables a hierarchical autoregressive audio-token modeling approach via a hybrid language model (hybird-LM) for full-song generation. To further enhance audio fidelity, a FullDiT model operates in a continuous VAE latent space, conditioned on codec tokens, lyrics, and text captions, employing flow matching for continuous generation.

Enhancing Musicality Through Advanced Training and Control

For the critical task of cover song generation, a dedicated two-level melody module extracts and discretizes melodic cues, ensuring the generated output respects the original harmonic structure. The system's robustness is further bolstered by investigating various reward-based post-training strategies like DPO, GRPO, and OPD for hybird-LM, and specifically applying flow-based GRPO to FullDiT. These techniques aim to refine musicality and rendering quality, moving beyond mere note generation to expressive audio synthesis. Evaluation on multilingual benchmarks and leaderboards confirms the framework's competitive edge.
