Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: AudioCraft is a PyTorch library for deep learning research on audio generation containing inference and training code for AudioGen and MusicGen; requires Python 3.9 and PyTorch; ffmpeg recommended. · locator: README, intro and Installation · source: https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft
- [sourced_fact] README License: the code is released under MIT (LICENSE); the model weights in the repository are released under CC-BY-NC 4.0 (LICENSE_weights). · locator: README, License · source: https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft
- [sourced_fact] GitHub description: includes the EnCodec audio compressor/tokenizer and MusicGen with textual and melodic conditioning; MIT, not archived, last push 2026-03-03. · locator: repository metadata · source: https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
