This model card provides details and information about EnCodec, a state-of-the-art real-time audio codec developed by Meta AI. EnCodec is a high-fidelity audio codec leveraging neural networks. It introduces a streaming encoder-decoder architecture with quantized latent space, trained in an end-to-end fashion. The model simplifies and speeds up training using a single multiscale spectrogram adversary that efficiently reduces artifacts and produces high-quality samples. It also includes a novel loss balancer mechanism that stabilizes training by decoupling the choice of hyperparameters from the typical scale of the loss. Additionally, lightweight Transformer models are used to further compress the obtained representation while maintaining real-time performance. - **Repository:** GitHub Repository - **Paper:** EnCodec: End-to-End Neural Audio Codec

This model card provides details and information about EnCodec 32kHz, a state-of-the-art real-time audio codec developed by Meta AI. This EnCodec checkpoint was trained specifically as part of the MusicGen project, and is intended to be used in conjuction with the MusicGen models. EnCodec is a high-fidelity audio codec leveraging neural networks. It introduces a streaming encoder-decoder architecture with quantized latent space, trained in an end-to-end fashion. The model simplifies and speeds up training using a single multiscale spectrogram adversary that efficiently reduces artifacts and produces high-quality samples. It also includes a novel loss balancer mechanism that stabilizes training by decoupling the choice of hyperparameters from the typical scale of the loss. Additionally, lightweight Transformer models are used to further compress the obtained representation while maintaining real-time performance. This variant of EnCodec is trained on 20k of music data, consisting of an internal dataset of 10K high-quality music tracks, and on the ShutterStock and Pond5 music datasets. - **Repository:** GitHub Repository - **Paper:** Simple and Controllable Music Generation

Additionally, lightweight Transformer models are used to further compress the obtained representation while maintaining real-time performance. EnCodec can be used directly as an audio codec for real-time compression and decompression of audio signals. It provides high-quality audio compression and efficient decoding. The model was trained on various bandwiths, which can be specified when encoding (compressing) and decoding (decompressing). Two different setup exist for EnCodec:

MODEL HANDBOOK

Understand before you choose

Selection guide & FAQ
How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
