Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Open weights + fully-licensed training data + output ownership is a genuinely de-risked, on-device-capable fit for instrumental score and SFX, but the no-vocals limit, API-only top tier, and thin independent benchmarking keep it short of confident broad adoption.
Next
Pilot the open-weight Medium (1.4B, up to 6m20s) for background score and Small SFX for reel sound design where licensed-data provenance matters; LoRA-tune on a small in-house library; pair with an external vocal tool when lyrics are needed; defer the Large/API tier until comparative quality is proven.
