A few things to know first

Questions & fixes →
Is this the official YuE2 website?

No. This is an independent guide. The model is published by M·A·P; official code, weights and demos are linked throughout.

Can I generate a song on this website?

Our prompt builder prepares a request file. Audio generation happens in the linked hosted demo or in your own YuE2 installation.

Can I use a generated song commercially?

The current model license includes permission for individuals to monetize their outputs, subject to its conditions. Company use of the weights has separate terms. Read the licensing guide before choosing a workflow.
