Jukebox AI - AI-Powered Music Generation Tool

Jukebox AI Brief Overview
OpenAI Jukebox is a research AI model that generates music as raw audio, which means it can create full sound (not just MIDI notes), including rudimentary singing in different genres and “artist-style” directions. You can guide it using inputs such as genre, artist/style, and lyrics, and the model will attempt to produce a brand-new music sample from scratch.
Jukebox is best understood as a research release, not a polished consumer app. It demonstrates what’s possible with deep generative audio modeling, but it comes with practical tradeoffs: generations can include audible noise, may not follow familiar song structures (like clean, repeating choruses), and—most importantly—can be very slow to generate. OpenAI released Jukebox with model weights and code, plus ways to explore example generations, so developers and researchers can experiment and learn from it.
How-to-Use
There are two straightforward ways to “use” Jukebox, depending on your goal:
- Explore examples (fastest option)
- Use the official Jukebox pages/tools that showcase curated generations.
- Listen to different samples and compare how changing genre, artist/style, and lyrics affects results.
- Generate audio yourself (hands-on option)
- Go to the open-source Jukebox repository and follow the setup steps.
- Install dependencies (typically via Conda + Python) and prepare a machine with a capable GPU.
- Choose a model variant (for example, a lyrics-conditioned model).
- Run the sampling script to generate audio for a set duration.
- Optional: “Prime” (seed) the model with your own
.wavfile to extend or continue a musical idea. - Review multiple outputs, pick the best take, and do light post-processing (trim, normalize, reduce noise) in an audio editor.
Jukebox AI Key Features and Functions
- Raw audio generation (not symbolic MIDI), enabling timbre and voice-like textures.
- Conditioning controls to steer output using:
- Genre
- Artist/style metadata
- Lyrics (for singing-like results)
- Multiple model variants/sizes, allowing different quality/speed tradeoffs.
- Priming mode to start from an existing audio clip (
.wav) and generate a continuation. - Multi-stage generation workflow (top-level structure plus upsampling stages) to improve audio detail.
- Sample exploration tools and curated demos to understand the model’s capabilities.
- Known limitations: slow sampling times, possible noise/artifacts, and imperfect long-range song structure.
Pricing
OpenAI Jukebox does not have a typical SaaS subscription price because it’s published primarily as a research release with free access to the code and model weights.
What you may pay for is the compute required to run it:
- If you run Jukebox locally, the “cost” is your hardware (a strong GPU is highly recommended).
- If you run it on cloud GPUs (or hosted notebook services), your cost depends on the provider, GPU type, and how long you generate audio—sampling can be time-intensive.
