The update
MiniMax has officially open-sourced its latest music generation model, MiniMax-Music3, which is capable of producing songs with lyrics lasting up to five minutes. Technically, the model employs a hierarchical design strategy: an 8-billion parameter global model handles long-range semantic understanding and overall song structure, while a 0.6-billion parameter local model restores fine-grained acoustic information to ensure audio detail. The final output is a 32kHz stereo WAV file. The model effectively maintains thematic coherence, rhythmic stability, and vocal identity consistency during generation, fully presenting standard song arrangement progressions from intro and verse to chorus.
