According to speculation from netizens, the product is likely to be called "udio" . However, on the one hand, it is the praise of bloggers, and on the other hand, the officials are tight-lipped about their own products, making the outside world wonder whether this is a hype. As the saying goes, it's a mule or a horse. Take it out for a walk. How powerful audio is can only be verified after it is released.
is twice as good as suno, and the "music version of sora" has sparked heated discussions
Recently, on the social platform x.com (formerly Twitter), many bloggers said that they had internally tested a mysterious music generation AI tool, saying The quality of the music it generates is significantly better than that of suno, which was released a few weeks ago, triggering heated discussions among netizens.
ai development and training blogger McKay Wrigley said excitedly:
"Just got a demonstration version of the AI music product that is twice as good as Suno. This is the most shocked I have been since the SORA demonstration version. This model is absolutely wild. AI Music is about to take the world by storm." He also believes that people underestimate AI creative tools "1,000 times" and that the product's musical authenticity is about to reach an inflection point toward the mainstream.

Another blogger, max (@maxescu), who is using AI to make a complete movie, also claimed to have obtained the permission of an AI music product. The music generated by it amazed him.

is so awesome, this mysterious AI. What exactly is the product generated by the tool like? Currently, only two finished products have been circulated online.
is a song released by Bojan Tunguz, a machine learning expert at NVIDIA. This song is based on the open source software library xgboost, and its style is the old-school boom bap style of the 90s. Some netizens said that this song is very similar to the style of the late famous rapper Tupac.
Another song comes from anonymous blogger @legit_rumors, which is similar to 80s girl pop. In the chorus, the lead singer repeats: "I can't believe they love suno, its sound makes me unhappy", which is very ridiculing.
It is worth noting that as of press time, both pieces of music have been deleted. It turns out that some netizens claimed that this mysterious AI product is most likely audio. The product is currently invitation-only, and trial users are explicitly told not to share any songs on social media until they are publicly released.

Apart from this, audio does not have any more information. Some people even speculated that since there is a song released by NVIDIA engineers, could NVIDIA enter the field of AI music?
Hype suspicions
The information of this AI application is opaque , coupled with the sensational praise of many bloggers, many people think it is a hype.
First of all, in terms of music quality, the quality of audio's works is not much higher than that of suno's works.
" The audio quality is still average. It's better than suno's (stereo instead of mono), but not much better. The sound quality is roughly equivalent to 64k in mp3 format. Not good enough to listen to continuously on spotify, but A little closer," said software engineer Mark Kretschmann.

Another blogger, fxturevescent, bluntly pointed out that audio tools are about the same level as suno, but they paid a group of Internet celebrities to brag that audio is "better".

Under criticism, McKay Wrigley, who was the first to disclose this product, had to come out to clarify, saying that he did not take money to help others promote it.

Regardless of whether it is a paid hype or not, whether the performance of this product is superior to suno in the end still has to wait for the public release to be tested by users.
"This is definitely a very effective marketing strategy and it seems to be working. I hope it doesn't live up to (expectations)." said software engineer mark kretschmann.

With the outbreak of AI craze, concerns about hype have always existed.
Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis recently publicly warned that a large amount of money has poured into the AI industry, bringing with it a series of hype and possible fraud, just like previous cryptocurrency or other hypes. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler also said at the end of 2023 that listed companies making unfounded exaggerations about their AI products will be targeted by regulatory authorities.
