MusicGen is a text-to-music model capable of genreating high-quality music samples conditioned on text descriptions or audio prompts. It is a single stage auto-regressive Transformer model trained over a 32kHz EnCodec tokenizer with 4 codebooks sampled at 50 Hz. Unlike existing methods, like MusicLM, MusicGen doesn't require a self-supervised semantic representation, and it generates all 4 codebooks in one pass. By introducing a small delay between the codebooks, we show we can predict them in parallel, thus having only 50 auto-regressive steps per second of audio. MusicGen was published in Simple and Controllable Music Generation by *Jade Copet, Felix Kreuk, Itai Gat, Tal Remez, David Kant, Gabriel Synnaeve, Yossi Adi, Alexandre Défossez*. Four checkpoints are released: - **small** (this checkpoint) - medium - large - melody
