Minimax Open-Weight AI Music Arrives! it SLAPS!
Suno is capping Pro downloads at 20 songs per month on September 3, so MiniMax Music3 could not have arrived at a better time. I installed this new open-weight AI music model locally, tested it against some of my favorite Suno songs, and found genuinely strong lyrics, pronunciation, and surprisingly usable quality. Suno V5 still wins on clarity, instrumentation, and style control—but Music3 is the best open-weight music generator I have tested, and it can even run on an 8GB CUDA card with slower offloading. This is not a Suno killer; it is unlimited local AI music becoming good enough to matter. ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: MiniMax Music3 — Official GitHub repository https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/MiniMax-Music3 MiniMax Music3 — Official model weights and README https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3 MiniMax Music3 — Community License https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3/blob/main/LICENSE MiniMax Music3 — Official MiniMax announcement https://x.com/MiniMax_AI/status/2087934657354678421 MiniMax Music3 in ComfyUI — Official tutorial https://docs.comfy.org/tutorials/audio/minimax/minimax-music-3 MiniMax Music3 — Comfy-Org packaged model files https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/MiniMax-Music-3/blob/main/README.md Suno — Official September 3 download-policy update https://suno.com/blog/suno-updates-tos Cocktail Peanut — The timing of an open-weight music release https://x.com/cocktailpeanut/status/2087659254710690166 Wildminder — Music3 support in ComfyUI https://x.com/wildmindai/status/2087961967885512806 Matt's Suno profile / comparison songs https://suno.com/@intricatecanon174?page=songs `Southern Christmas` on Suno https://suno.com/song/b1554399-e08a-4138-93f7-28a46f8d4e5d `Barren Tundra` on Suno https://suno.com/song/dd619c96-2514-4ef5-85ab-3a3e43d9a013 MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.gg/mattvidpro Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming Let's work together! - For brand & sponsorship inquiries: https://tally.so/r/3xdz4E - For all other business inquiries: mattvidpro@smoothmedia.co Thanks for watching MattVideoProductions!
