Hi HN! Author here, I wanted to show off the latest side hustle that I've been cooking for the past few months.

This is a terminal application that runs the latest AI models for music generation locally, using the CPU or GPU of the device, and without the need of heavy dependencies like Python or machine learning frameworks. It works on Linux, Mac and Windows seamlessly, with a binary size of just ~30 Mb for the non-GPU versions.

The app works like this:

- It accepts a natural language prompt from the user

- Generates a music sample conditioned by the prompt

- Encodes the generated sample into .wav format and plays it on the device

Additionally, it ships a UI that allows interacting with the AI models in a chat-like web application, storing chat history and generated music on the device.

The vision of the project is that it can eventually generate infinite music streams in real time, for example, an infinite stream of always new LoFi songs for listening while coding, but not quite there yet...

Hope you like it!
