Udio, a Game Changer for AI Music 🎵
Source: Udio
A new player has emerged that is capturing the attention of artists and music enthusiasts alike. Udio is the latest AI music tool to hit the market and is already looking to overtake the current leader, Suno.ai.
Details:
The platform boasts the ability to generate music in any style or genre, including vocals, based on text input provided by users.
One of Udio's standout features is its capability to extend generated music clips, allowing users to create full-length tracks with custom introductions and outros.
Udio boasts impressive backing, including high-profile artists like Will.i.am and Common, as well as investors such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).
The beta version of Udio is currently available for free, with each user able to create up to 1,200 songs per month.
While the early version may still have some limitations, the company is actively working on improvements. Nonetheless, current results demonstrate superior vocals and a more natural sound compared to existing options, making it the most realistic AI music creation tool around.
Udio shared some incredible sample generations on X. Check them out here.
META
Meta debuts new generation of AI chip

Meta has unveiled the next generation of its in-house AI chip, the Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA).
Details:
The new MTIA chip is up to three times more powerful than its predecessor, with doubled compute and memory bandwidth capabilities.
It's already being used in Meta's advertising and ranking processes.
The company aims to reduce its dependency on Nvidia graphics cards, employing a strategy similar to other tech giants like Google and Microsoft, which are also developing their own chips.
Despite these efforts, Meta remains heavily reliant on Nvidia. The company plans to deploy a total of 600,000 graphics cards by the end of the year, including 340,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs.
