M-A-P posted YuE2-3B on September 9. It turns lyrics and a style prompt into full 48 kHz stereo songs of about 3.6 minutes in English and Mandarin, and users can edit the output through ABC score notation. The model card reports 6.96 on WildSongBench against Suno v5's 6.87, but that is a best-of-8 selection and the license is CC BY-NC 4.0, so no commercial use. audio.cpp maintainers measured a real-time factor of 0.20 and 7.7 GB peak VRAM on an RTX 5090 at Q4.
