What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
MIT-licensed (per repo), runs locally in <4GB VRAM with strong benchmark scores and broad device support — ideal for zero-cost (Rule #9) royalty-free brand/ebook/reel music, but vocal/genre limitations plus the license-source ambiguity require verify-then-deploy.
Next
Run a local RTX/A100-class proof on 5 brand-music briefs; confirm the model's actual LICENSE file (MIT vs CC-BY) before any commercial use; gate every output on a human listen-test.
