facebookresearch/audiocraft/MUSICGEN: Music Generation

https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft/blob/main/LIC...

I asked Audiocraft to make me a "chill hip hop beat", I used framesync.xyz to make keyframes for A1111 Deforum extension. Unfortunately, I don't have the settings file anymore, but it was pretty much just a 26s clip at 15fps (440 frames) with a single prompt "a surreal painting by Magritte" and the usual negative prompt magic voodoo. Then, for every clip I used the last frame of the previous clip as init frame. I render at 512x512 and then use ESRGAN4x to upscale to 2048x2048

However, the music was 100% AI-generated by MusicGen.

Music was entirely generated by AI using MusicGen. Video was generated using PhotoVibrance.

whisper.cpp [1] has a karaoke example that uses ffmpeg's drawtext filter to display rudimentary karaoke-like captions. It also supports diarisation. Perhaps it could be a starting point to create a better script that does what you need.

The ggml library is one of the first library for local LLM interference. It’s a pure C library that converts models to run on several devices, including desktops, laptops, and even mobile device - and therefore, it can also be considered as a tinkering tool, trying new optimizations, that will then be incorporated into other downstream projects. This tool is at the heart of several other projects, powering LLM interference on desktop or even mobile phones. Subprojects for running specific LLMs or LLM families exists, such as whisper.cpp.

I'm not sure if it is _fully_ openai compatible, but whispercpp has a server bundled that says it is "OAI-like": https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/master/example...

I don't have any direct experience with it... I've only played around with whisper locally, using scripts.

unless i'm misunderstanding `whisper.cpp` seems to support streaming & the repository includes a native example[0] and a WASM example[1] with a demo site[2].

Usage 1: Good to transcribe audio. An example use case could be to summarize YouTube videos or long courses. Usage 2: You talk with voice to your AI that responds with text (later with audio too). - https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

Has anyone played around with Whisper C++ for swift? I'm hitting a snag even on the demo. I've downloaded the github repo and everything matches up with this video [ https://youtu.be/b10OHCDHDQ4 ] but when he hits the transcribe button, it actually prints out the captioning. When I do it, it skips that part and just says "Done...". But it, does everything else - plays the audio, says it's transcribing.. just doesn't show me the transcription: and it's not in the debug window either. But the demo isn't throwing any errors, and I haven't messed with the code really so this is their example. https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
