New diffusion model music instruments? Yes, please!
May 22
Can we transform offline audio diffusion into real-time streaming interactive instruments?
Yes!
Presenting Live Music Diffusion Models: a new paradigm for taking your favorite open models into live performance, right on your own laptop! 🎵🎵

How do we design real-time audio jamming models, and do we have the right data? Our new arXiv preprint studies the design and its tradeoffs.

While the model presents exciting directions for creative explorations and human-AI partnerships, this work notes the experiences of musicians to inform the model's future development!

Intending to use this model for interactive human-AI generation, we present two possible use cases with our model: (1) primed generation and (2) coarse pitch conditioning. Learn more and play around with these interactions in our demo (huggingface.co/spaces/snnith…)!

🚨Understanding In-Context Learning:
1. Pretrained LLMs can implement learning algorithms to learn from data in-context.
2. Transformers can encode multiple algorithms for the same task and use one based on context at inference time.
3. Attention-free models also exhibit ICL.
6 Oct 2023
Recently, Transformers have been shown to implement learning algorithms in-context. Key questions:
What are their limits?
Can they exploit informative examples to learn more efficiently?
How does this relate to pretrained LLMs?
Our new preprint explores these questions.

Today @snpranav and I got into an argument over how frustrating it would be for the speed of a song to constantly change as a function of time. To settle it, I decided to use Bespoke to control the speed of 'Spain' by Chick Corea based on a modified sine wave :)

Last week, @imnotfady and I built KarenAI for the @bitcmp hackathon.
KarenAI - your personal Karen that can help you dispute your credit card transactions, get sh*t done with customer support, and let you speak with a manager at the touch of a button using Ai!
🧵👇
12 Apr 2023
Like Karens, it can get a bit rude sometimes...
We then deployed KarenAI using @Gradio! Shoutout to @_akhaliq 🫡
